What is the best way to get wings 3d models into blender for animation

Thanks

I have never done it myself, but I think people usually export as wrml and import that into Blender.

Thanks for the reply,

Ive tried using wrml but quite often it will create holes in the model. I think it may be anywhere that you have poles, not sure though. Is there an obj import plug in.

Blender support quad and triangle faces only so you will have to convert to quad faces in wings before exporting. (in face mode select all faces, rightclick and choose Tesselate>Quadrangulate)

Ill give that a try when I get home from work.

Ive just tried to load wrl in 2.26 and Blender just bombed out. does anybody know what might be causing this. Im just downloading 2.25 again to see how it works with that.

Just tried it in 2.25 and it works fine. I wonder if this is a bug, can somebody else test this please.

Scorpius has a wings python import and export script

I have only tried to import Truespace files and it worked pretty good, but Wings files I can’t tell you. Only way to find out is to try it.
