[-Archmage-]

2.46, download it here, unpack, and create a shortcut to the executable for quick access.
Just so you know this is an unofficial download, it was put together by the Glest Community, and it has the G3D tools installed.

thanks hey and plz remember the models o and sorrie if my spelling is a bit of i'm afrikaans so plz understand

[JavaWolfPro]

Cu convert from  g3d to max or 3ds or o ???bj

The problem is, when you import a G3D, the animations just aren't there, and there isn't a bone structure, so you only get model and a texture.

[JavaWolfPro]

its oky but do u know how to import them and do u use blender or 3ds max

[-Archmage-]

I use Blender, and yes, I know how to import G3Ds.
How well do you know how to use Blender?

[JavaWolfPro]

I can use it oky hav made a cople of charaters

[-Archmage-]

Then you definitely know how to switch windows(3D View ---> Buttons).

A little guide on how to use the G3D tools installed in the Blender download I posted earlier:

To import a G3D:
Select the scripts option from the switching windows menu.
Open the scripts menu and go to: Wizards --> G3D Fileformat Im/Exporter.
Click load G3D and select the G3D you want to load.
Switch to the 3D View window, and that's it.

To export to G3D:
Click/Select the File Menu, go to: Export --> G3D XML Exporter, save it and you're done.
