Hi,
is it possible to convert a .msh file in a other format that can be used
in a 3d programm.
Because I want to add something to an existing mesh.:(

Easy.
There are many way to convert from mesh to another format.
Try ar81's meshwizard; it can convert to anim8or format and .obj format.

Ah.

Are you planning to release this mesh?
If so, perhaps you should ask the developer of the mesh first.

I want to add a gear an mayby animations to the warp engines.
First I want to make this for my private use and when it lookes good I mayby release it. But if so I would ask the author for the premission.
But with mesh wizard I cannt open it as I said before.

Currently I'm not using any specific program.It depends on to which format I can convert my mesh.
I tried the link posted by liber. When the program says it has finished converting I look in my folder and there is no obj file.

Oh my mistake. I'm using vista and I must launch the converter as atministrator. Now I have my obj file. Which 3d programm must I use to open .obj files.

I have another question.
I know that a mesh in splitted in groups.
When I converted my mesh to obj I said the groups also must be converted. But in anim8or I see only one big object.
How can I see the names of the different groups?

Hm...I have 3D Exploration with who covert obj to 3DS and all group stay.
Maybe is easyer to download a new Voyager and make it for Orbiter...if you planing to use ut for private use ok but for public I think you need to get permission.

Cool model could be found here:http://www.trekmeshes.ch/
