Changing Models

[Midway Sentinel]

Is it possible to simply replace the model of an object in sandbox and use it ingame?

and if not, then how do i import an object into the game to use it as a player?

I guess the main question is: i have a .blend file (a starship), and i want it to be replacing the ogre red, and i dont know how to make a config file or anything, the ship is just a model as far as i know (i downloaded it from turbosquid) and i just want to go into edit mode and fly around the map, so how do i get a static shape i downloaded into the game?

btw, thanks for helping

Well the simplest way to do this would just replace the ogre folder itself, renaming your starship folder the same as the ogre folder. Depending on your model most the time you will have to adjust the camera position also.

well, my computer isnt working properly, and i cant run blender, so i hope its in the right direction

Well in turbosquid almost alwase they have a 3ds file for their models, so you really dont have to use Blender at all. Just use that compiler i showed you.

Um.. what compiler?

-edit: i was able to open a flying camera i wanted in Gmax, so what do i do with it now?
