Having trouble importing from Blender

Post by icesilvermist2 »

Hello,
I have read the tutorials for importing, although I must be missing something because I still cant import my bunny wabbit I made into Sandbox, in fact, I cant even get a box to go in there /frustrated! I must be missing something important but Im not sure what ive done wrong so Ill try to recreate what I am doing, and maybe someone can tell me what ive missed. In blender I saved my bunny as a tris thingy (yes I know my technical terms are so advanced :lol: ) I converted to triangles in the UV thingy I think it was converted. I saved after I had done both of those. He doesnt have any textures or anything cuz just learning blender has taken a bit of time. So next I made a cfg file in my sandbox modeling folder and put my bunny file in there. Nothings happening and im sure im missing something obvious. Thanks for your time, I sure appreciate any insight you may have for me!

Did you export it in a different format or did you just save it as a blender file? Sandbox doesn't work with blender files.
The rookie in sandbox... :)

use md2, md3 or md5 (there're more formats, but I don't know them, these'll work)

Yes Ive also tried using md3 I think it was, Im still doing something wrong, I also did download and extract the recommended exporter for those type of files, but I am not sure if I need to do anything with those besides have them available on my computer when I export.

When you get the scripts, you need to extract them (from the Winzip archive) and add them to this folder:
blender 2.49 > .blender > scripts.
