So I have read the info in model files and I still dont have a clue on how to open the model files. What code do I put where inorder for the files to be openable. Also what 3d software does everyone suggest.
Thx,
LordGarth

Blender would be my first choice; The exporter could be written in Python.
Either version Blender 2.49b or 2.62 ~or 2.63 (maybe); the API differs a bit between them.

just paste the code into the python console and you should have a Legend of Grimrock Mesh file (.mesh) import option, but I just realized that we need .model

Here is something to start with.

And another resource (however this one is specific to the Blender 2.4x versions; it may be helpful indirectly, unless you are coding for the 2.4x version):

What version of Blender do you have?
There is a tutorial for the 2.4x version:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2 ... ython/BSoD
** I use both 2.49b and 2.62 (and 2.63). The reason I use 2.4x is that I prefer the UI, and it has more import export scripts for formats that I use ~most notably, the Nif Script import expot for Gamebryo only works with Blender 2.49 (or 2.4x?)
