Using 3DS Gen's command line.

Post by []V[]essenjah »

Hey everyone, I need to convert a file to a 3DS file to open in Milkshape to use as a reference model. Anyway, could someone please let me know how to use 3DSGen?

Here is what I have tried to do....


c:/3dsgen.exe -i cockpit.OOF -0 cockpit.3ds

Am I doing something wrong here?

I read somewhere that you can just drag a file over 3dsgen.exe when they are inside the same folder and it should work. I gave it a try but nothing happened :\

Someone actually still uses 3dsgen? :o

To use it, just go to the directory that 3dsgen.exe is located. Move whatever .oofs you wish to convert to the same directory to make things easier.

Then, open a command window in this directory or you can simply navigate to the directory after opening a command window.

Then just type the following...

3dsgen -i cockpit.oof -o cockpit.3ds

or for the above example, you may omit the "-o cockpit.3ds" since the input and output filenames are the same.
