Title: In need of information Post by: CoreDeadeye on May 11, 2015, 04:58:36 PM I am trying to make an OA character, but I have little knowledge on what needs to be done. On top of that, I am not too familiar with Blender. I have sifted through the pk3. archives to the player models, and I have a slight idea of the necessary files. Will Autodesk modeling programs work for modeling the character and rigging it? I know I will need to use Blender a little bit (for exporting), even if I use Autodesk. Could someone tell what each of the files do, and if Autodesk can do the job?

The files I refer to are the '.skin' , 'animation .cfg' , and multiple .md3 variants such as 'upper', 'upper_1' and so on. I am guessing the '.skin' file links the different '.tga'/'.jpg' to the .md3 variants based on the chosen team color. I just wanted some clarification on these different files.
