How to import .pmd/.pmg models?

[davidzoli]

It's getting clear slowly
So if my workflow starts with import some ingame model for modify it, i have to use the old addon. And if i create a new model, i'd better using this? Because its options won't work (ex. lamp switcher, looks, variants) on the imported model.

Is there any chance to get the actual models in the format for Blender tools? Can I update my imported model to use Blender tools functions (lamps, view contoller buttons)?

Okay, so I imported a Renault Premium in Blender but it shows as fully white. How do I view it in color with all the textures?

You forgot to set the path to your base or the mod folder, or both. You set that down to the left on the import screen

I did that. Still a white texture. Am I supposed to set the mod folder path to something other than the Desktop?

Have you set the viewport shading mode to textured?

@Ohaha : what are you meaning under "you have base.scs extracted" ? The base scs file which I would like to modify, or the base.scs on the main root folder of ETS2?
Can you make some screenshoots to see it clear? (sorry have started the modding it now) Thank you in advance!

In blender when I open File>Import, there are several formats shown but not the .pmd format. The one just reads a SCS Foramts (.pim), which is unable to locate a pmd file in Base. What shall I do?

Blender doesn't know what that funny format is, because it is propitiatory format, by SCS. Search for "ConverterPIX", a private tool, and "ConverterPIXWrapper", a Blender plug-in to access it. Can't tell you more, not using Blender.
