Has anybody been able to successfully extra the factories in 3D? I would love to add this to the mockup I have.... I'll even take something you've scraped together yourself.
i can extract the terrain, In example, Canyons, Trees, Rocks. but not units. goto you PA directory and search for .FSB files. Download "Blender" 3d modeling program (its free) Download the PAPA import/Export feature made by one of the modder community or dev's. Find the how to install PAPA import/export into blender thread. Once you have that done, you can open blender , goto file menu and click import PAPA file. find the .FSB file you want to import, then export it as whatever kind of model you Cad softwares can handle (usually .DXF)
My animating is getting better and so are my Graphical Effect's I made a rough and spikey planetoid, than made High Quality Dynamic Fogging/Clouds. Looks good you can see the depth of the cloud against the height of the hills and spikes.
Wow. That's really cool. I was hoping to extract some factories so I could better show the zoom functionality. I just ran a search for .fsb I only see 3 files PA_Music.fsb PA_SFX.fsb PA_VO.fsb
oops my bad, was in wrong place at time of answering your question.. lol search for "FBX" load .PAPA file from here. these folders contain the models for the brushes for the planets biomes.
the unit papa files are here. C:\Program Files (x86)\Planetary Annihilation\PA\media\pa\units The factory's are in the air, land, sea folders
