Um, what specific problem are you having? You need to be a bit more specific. Where are things going wrong?

Yay!!, The one and only mentor (read your guide, helped heaps )

Lol, MS3D, is a nono for me, and I'm currently using Blender 3D.

I have my model, textured etc. however, I cannot export it into CMP, or any other known format that can be converted into CMP.... therefore, it is useless to FL.

I have wings 3d, Blender 3d.

Hopefully, There is some way I can get it to work..., any ideas?

Unfortunately (for you, apparently), you NEED to use ms3d for the final conversion to CMP. It's got a LOT of importers though, so just find a format blender can export to (like LWO, OBJ, or 3DS) and export.

<------ what he said.

You cannot avoid MS3D entirely. It's the only software we have with a working CMP exporter. It's actually a pretty nice program, and works with a lot of game engines, converts lots of file formats, and plays nicely with others

I feel your pain. I bought ms3d but it continually breaks on my machine (current issue being all 3 view ports go grey and fail to display anything ) and have been playing a little in blender. Personally I think that importers and exporters for blender would be great. Now any good python coders wanna try it?
