freelancer doesnt support animation.....so far as we know...

i do not know of any others besides the milkshape one, but the best way is to create your ship in the program you like...and texture and export in milkshape

I have to believe it does support animatin somehow because there is a station which has a large hoop with steam emitters on it which spins continuously?

I thought I saw on either the mat exporter or the cmp exporter readme for ms3d that the next version of the program will hopefully have animation support.

hi ...
an other problem, if you work with Gmax or 3D Studio Max, you export your model with animation on 3DS format, into Milkshape, the animation is deleted .... it couldn't support after my tests importation of animations ...
and no others programs have CMP exporter function ... or nobody have write one pluggins for Gmax or 3D Studio Max ...

best regards

Are you exporting to .3ds or .ms3d from 3ds Max?

about that, i tried to do animation. afterwards i tried to play the animation, nothing happened. i dont get why they have the animation toolbar at the bottom if it doesnt work.

Hi PantherX ..
i have one model , for example, in 3D stdio max with an animation, save in 3DS format ..., if i reopened it with Gmax or 3DS max, thats' work, but import into Milkshape nothing work ... no animation ....

hm, that would be nice if rotors of my Orcas would spin...
