First off, all models and textures can be found in Tremulous/Base/data-1.1.0.pk3.

second, pk3's can be opened with Winrar.

Third, you can use blender,Gmax and 3dsMax to my knowledge, you just need to find the import export plugins.

Blender:
Importer/Exporter

Gmax/3dsMax:
Importer/Exporter

I find Pakscape very useful for pk3's, since it is free and easy to use. It also does pak, vol and zips. I'm somewhat fond of jk files at filefront so here is a link for it:

As far as modeling plugins, I am interested as well.

I can't get the plugins to work on both GMAX and Blender.


hmmm the Gmax one should have worked i got it stright from my max folder.
are u sure you put it in the right folder?

remember that the import is a script an the export is a plugin. thus need to be in the right folder (location in the readme).

AND that gmax plugins wont work for blender and viser verser

as for using them (if ur new to gmax). to use scripts -


then to export, click file/export then enter in this window -




i dont know about the blender one tho, i havnt used blender more then once.




ps give me some time ill find were i got my md3 blender from

ah thats because to tryed open with, you have to drag to your desktop (or in your gmax/scenes).

then open gmax and open it using the scripts.(read above)

would every 1 be happy if i just made a vid on how to DL, install and use? lol



ps. ive just upload some blender plugins ive found that work. look above.

Milkshape 3D supports "Quake III: Arena MD3" so i'm gonna give it a shot.
edit: argh, it'd be nice if i could see some textures!
