Hi there,
I need a simple-to-use 3D icon creation tool that can export not only to PNG but also to a 3D format that can be read by Milkshape and converted to Milkshape MS3D format. RealWorld looks like an excellent tool but I'm not sure if this conversion is possible - if anyone knows the answer please let me know.
thanks,
Geoff
Currently, importing and exporting to 3rd party 3D formats is not supported. Export to 3D Studio format .3ds (which can be read by Milkshape) might be available relatively soon and released as a plug-in.

Until then, there is only one way how to convert .u3d to .obj or .wrl files and that is by using an old version of the Unicorn3D editor (<a href="http://unicorn3d.rw-designer.com/Unicorn3D.msi" rel="nofollow">http://unicorn3d.rw-designer.com/Unicorn3D.msi</a>). This is a very old freeware app and it is not 100% compatible with the .u3d files created in RW, but it can export and import from a couple of formats. (When exporting, make sure, to change the extension manually or it will not be exported correctly.) <strong>Use it at your own risk. I mean it.</strong>
