viewing u3d files outside of Unreal Editor

[wilbran]

Hi, my first post and i all ready have a question

Is there any application or plugin that can view these files, i have tried milkshape without any success, but i really would like to see what these meshes look like out side of the game

i have the idea of altering the defiant from ds9: the fallen to make it more better shaped, but i need to know if there is anyway to import this into lightwave or milkshape

I have tried to use save the mesh in unrealedit, and that saves it as a u3d file, but so far i have had no success in open this or any other u3d file in milkshape or lightwave or even 3dmax.

Thank you for your time

U3D is a proprietary file format of UnrealEd. You can export brushes to T3D files, which should be possible to convert. I've been thinking of writing a converter, but I don't have enough time to learn C++. Maybe I'll get one ready with Turbo Pascal, but don't count on it.
