Pyware User Forums

Hi-

I'm wondering if it's possible to create/import custom 3D models of props. I'm starting on a show with some fairly specific props and would love to have something on my 3D field that at least gets close to what will really be there. I have access to and proficiency in several modeling programs (Rhino, Maya, Max) and wouldn't have a problem generating the model and/or 2D images of the different sides. But is there a way to get that model into Pyware with a reasonable amount of effort? I'm in the latest release of version 7.

Thanks!

You have to export them into an image file that Pyware can read. From there, it's a simple matter of importing the image as a prop to Pyware and placing it. Smaller image files (both size and byte-wise) work the best, as it doesn't create PDF's that are 50 MB per PDF.

At this point there is not a way to import custom models.

What model are you looking for?

We do add new prop models based on request.

We're just using these big gondola boats. I can image map a png onto a rectangle if it really bothers me, but I'm most likely not going to worry about it. Thanks.
