| | [[.:tools:Milkshape 3D]] | This is 3D modeling tool, useful to create unit and station models. It does require some importer and exporter plugins for use with it. Otherwise you cannot read or create the SOD files with it. The software originally was distributed as usual, requiring a license for use, costing some money. As the company behind it is no longer, you will not get any licenses for this program any longer. But there are still sources out there, from which you can get the last version 1.8.4. Its main drawback is the way how nodes are placed. MS3D only knows joints for animations. The importer and exporter use those to create the node hierarchy, but as the whole concept of that does not allow for free placement **and** direction of nodes at the same time, this is a problem. You will need other tools for placing nodes properly, e.g. [[.:Tools:Storm3D Tool]]. | | | [[.:tools:Milkshape 3D]] | This is 3D modeling tool, useful to create unit and station models.
