Unfortunately most of it is in Japanese. Just get the app and fool around -- you won't break anything :o) Mick the Metasequoia obsessive. p.s. Hi Mon ;)

I've got several URLs for Meta-tutos and you can even download one of them from my resources site. The site with the ME Workshops for a flight simulator is in German only, so you would need the language knowledge or a good translation service - you can try to run the tutos through http://www.freetranslation.com/web.htm for example.

Couldn't find any ME workshops at that FMS site. Was alover that sight weeks ago, alread have what useful info I could find. Gotta love thoughs trnslaters, nothing like reading english words with german sentence structure and grammer. I've been hunting for more advanced tutorials but haven't found any yet; like tuto do me a lot of good. moh1alpha, look in the top right corner, on site translation.

Woe, resurfed Mizno Lab's site and found a new listing, Redqueen. I'm down loading it now, looks like a lighting program. Any info could prove helpful. If there isn't any I'll scope it out once it's done down loading. Matbe if all of us non japanes users of ME e-mailed Mizno labs about our interest in regestering ME 2.3 they would change there policy; I hate haveing to run everything through ME LE to use it.

If you go to the http://www.rc-sim.de/index_dl.htm , then go to the MENU item in the upper left navigation, then click on Workshops. The next page is a listing of various tutorials and workshops. These two are the ME workshops:Metasequoia, (Sim-Modell-Konstruktion)
and
Der Metasequoia Workshop von Patrick + Manuel
I try to give the direct URL but dunno if they will work:
http://www.rc-sim.de/art_engine/article.php?article=104&PHPSESSID=8f3a61980b01751667fd9aaa4813e60e
http://www.rc-sim.de/art_engine/index.php?article=12&main=9&PHPSESSID=8f3a61980b01751667fd9aaa4813e60e
And yep....machine translation sucks a lot in the grammar field...try a French text into German and it would be quite hard to tell, what the French wanted to say...LOL!

I know about the translaters. I've been flying virtual model planes with FMS for a while and sense the program is german and the best selection of planes {most listings not best design} is on japanes sites, I've given bablefish quite a work out. Some times the difference in grammer can change the meaning and other times the sentences can be hillarious; of corse with my spelling my sentances can have the same result.

Found it. Very nice basic tutorial. It looks like this program could use a next step tutorial...hay maybe we could get Mick to write it? ya I know, I'm unemploied and don't have much time to work with my models let alone write how I made them.

English/japanese translations can often be funny :) In the workshop manual for my 600 lb motorbike it tells you to 'lift the motorcycle for access to oil draining making care not to drop it' Good tip there boys, I was gonna juggle with a couple of motorbikes

Since Metasequoia is the theme...Does anyone knows if there is a way to export obj format? I've found sites in japanese that have plug in for obj export but I can't understand how to install them... Please check the previous thread...

I use 3dwin to convert files. east enough, just watch the x,y,z. I've been using Metasequoia for a month now and have surfed several sites. I don't recall seeing plugins for it; of coarse that could just be because bablefish gives me a headache and I gave up be fore I found any.
manleystanley posted Tue, 06 April 2004 at 8:12 AM
If you go to the your Meta program files you'll find a plugins folder if they don't go there I don't know where they would go.
Bryde posted Wed, 07 April 2004 at 2:08 AM
The plugin on the one Japanese site is only for Japanese people. Haven't seen any plugin for Meta in English. At the Wings3D board once was a discussion for creating such a plugin, but I think it stopped before someone actually wrote such a thing. One way would be to work your model in Meta version 2.2.3 then save in native format and open it in version 2.1. From there export to COB format, which is Truespace. You then should be able to convert it with a file converter like AccuTrans ( http://www.micromouse.ca/ ) or Crossroads ( http://home.europa.com/~keithr/Crossroads/ ).

Bryde, thats the way I've been doing it for a while, works good except Le is bad about stripping the textures put on with Meta 2.3. I'm going to surf some of these links to see if there is anything usefull; now were did I put that bablfish.

Please inform us if you make any sense... :-)
manleystanley posted Thu, 08 April 2004 at 7:32 AM
Checked them all out seems like a mixed bag of uselessness. Got eather errors or no option for the plugin in the menus. Sorry.
narcissus posted Tue, 13 April 2004 at 5:23 AM
Thanks for the info! It seams that all those work only for the registered version only ... :-(
manleystanley posted Tue, 13 April 2004 at 7:20 AM
Figures. And of coarse you can only regester in japan. Hmmmmmmm..... maybe renderosity could work some thing out with Mizno labs to regester Meta 2.3?
