It's nice to tell you where the error is! So read carefully what's written to you.

To get started, set up Blender.

Watch on YouTube

This has helped me a lot

Thanks, I seem to have done nothing but watch videos for the last couple of days, but nothing seems to sink in.

I found these videos which show how to make a mod (front grill), it seem very good, I just wish there was some audio with it, because it goes quite quick, I can see few rewinds coming over the next few days. (good job I'm on holiday until February).

Watch on YouTube

The easiest way is -
Base Folder of your Mod - Folder where your Textures are - delete all .tobj Files of your Textures and then create new one's!

Then they are in "Middle" Format like 50keda told you and you can export and convert them.

I think i'm getting to grips with this, although I feel like i'm going a long way around for a short cut.

On importing this is the only warning message that i have.

WARNING - Invalid SII file path 'E:/ETS 2/1 My mods/Scania_sunvisor_CB/GTM_sunvisors_23_01_2018_exp/def/climate/default/nice.sii'!

I did have a one about material/material.db, but i copied that file into the base mod and it has disappeared.


edit
I've just answered my own question. I created a def/climate/default/nice.sii file and I've removed all warnings on import, but like i said if someone can tell me an easier way?

Here's a little helpful about Blender's setup.
You can read it here and here.

Thanks, I have managed to get everything imported in to Blender now, I just need to figure out how to make a material and UV map.

There is a video posted with a beginners manual, if you follow that you also know how to add a UV_0.
http://modding.scssoft.com/wiki/Tutoria ... imple_cube

And in this chapter you will learn how to make an UV_0, but to get it right I advise you to go through the entire tutorial, otherwise you will not succeed.

Cheers I've tried looking at these video's and some times they go to fast, and I keep having to go backwards and forwards.

I'll have another go later, and watch the video on my ipad so i dont have to go backwards and forwards.
