I/Ogre - Ogre3D/Source/MilkShape3D Import/Export Plugin for Cinema 4D R10.1+
Hi Folks,
I just wanted to let you know about my latest plug-in for Cinema 4D (R10.1 or later)...
I/Ogre version 1.3 is now available in the downloads section of my site. This update marks a change of focus for the plug-in...
While the original plug-in was written to only support the Ogre3D .mesh and .skeleton file formats, with this update, it now also supports importing VALVe:Source Engine .smd files (used by the Source SDK, which comes with and can be used to create mods for VALVe games), as well as importing MilkShape3D .ms3d files (Export modules are planned for both of those as well).
The new focus of the plug-in is providing a set of Game-Oriented Digital Content Creation Tools something Cinema 4D is currently lacking. Because these formats are fairly specific in nature, they are often the best file-exchange formats to use when dealing with game-oriented content. The original plan was to provide these as separate plug-ins, but I have decided to go with the swiss-army-knife approach, for added value and convenience.
Other details are listed below...
v1.3
This is a free update for all registered users (free 30-day Trial available for everyone else).
