3d models(solved, full list)

[GJH105775]

What formats of 3d models am I able to use with minetest?

[Gambit]

The character model is .blend while certain mods use .b3d.

[GJH105775]

Ok, thanks I us ubuntu and saw that .b3d worked but do not have a program to us b3d. Know of any?

[GJH105775]

Is there any way I could use any program but blender?

I was wondering the same thing... it's so darned hard to use. I think you just gotta learn it, because you won't regret it (or so I heard, from everyone I've talked to). I'm with you though, I really think that it's way too complex.

[prestidigitator]

I thought the models had to be exported as some other format (with a ".x" extension) for Minetest to use them.

[GJH105775]

I decided to do the grunt work in misfit 3d then save as .obj and import to blender to save as .blend

For the things you have to do for Minetest, Blender is easy to use.
I made a sheep model in about 2 minutes.

+1 It only took me a few online video tutorials to get up to speed.

Before that I'd only ever used Google sketchup for 3d.

Yeha, the "Noob to Pro" tutorials for Blender are awesome, and get you up to speed very quickly.
