Hi,

Is there any other software than 3dmax or Zmodeler to create a custom car ?

I never be able to make something good with zmodeler and 3dmax is slow when using some huge scenes.

I have heard people mention Gmax, Milkshape 3D and Blender, all of which I know nothing about. Sorry,

I have blender but there is no ASE or PRM exporter available

I've look through my vast library of files and hopefully found something that might help you.
I sent it to your email, I hope you get it.

basically, if you have 3dsmax and zmod you can almost use any other 3d modeller on the market.

all you need to do is export your car to a format that either max or zmod can open. once in those programs, you might need to adjust normals and/or mapping and then export to .ase (with max for ase2prm) or directly export to .prm when you have it zmod to begin with.

otherwise, zmod grows on your after a while.
and max shouldnt be slow with a car. if max slows down on you when building a car, it wont work in RV.

I am working on a tut for making a car in Milkshape, but to get you started check this site out http://www.psionic3d.co.uk/tutorials.html its very good and easy to get started. download milkshape (its free for 30 days) and start with the basics tut, then move on to the car. If you complete the car project mail me and I will send instructions on how to get it into revolt.

A good program to get is ultimate unwrap 3d.
It supports many file formats for import and export.
It also exports to the revolt prm format.

I used Gmax along with ultimate unwrap 3d to create the RV Jet Car.

The cost of ultimate unwrap 3d is $49.95 US.

Using Google i found some sites that have a ase exporter for blender.

There are many site but I will only list 2.

I've had sucess with the program Metasequoia.

Metasequoia available here.

You'll need to either use UltimateUnwrap 3D or the LithiumUnwrap/Zmod combo to get to the PRM format.

Metasequoia has a freeware version that is completly useable.

Just another option.
