TSM to Blender

[cnwfan]

Im wanting to switch to Blender but have several files with TSM, how does one go about to transfer over so that blender can read TSM files, Thanks!

Blender is unable to read TSM files. If you know someone with 3D CANVAS/CRAFTER, they can use that tool to convert a TSM model to a format Blender cam import... like OBJ, or Collada DAE format. I've done it for mine but I no longer have 3DC installed.

Hi Todd,

I made the jump from 3DC to Blender in December - there is absolutely no going back - just about EVERYTHING is better in Blender. I can't believe I waited so long.

I have 3DC and I can import TSM and export as Collada to import into Blender. I've done it a bunch and I think it's the only way. If you want - send me a file and I'll see if I can port it for you. You will lose all animation data and hierarchical structure - as that's not carried across the porting process. It does take time so I can't do a large number of files. I don't need textures - just the TSM file.

Regards,
Scott

Thanks guys, I don't have 3DC so will need a third party for that. Been editing files for Farm simulator and with a better PC, I can do more stuff with everything then I could on my old one including Blender. Scott will send a few over tomorrow or at least a pm first to get your details.
