Exporting 3D Models to 3D print Maps

Post by TarsierFan »

Hey guys, I bet this is probably asked before but what would be the best way to extract the 3d Models from the Maps. I'm trying to 3d Print some maps, and exporting the textures from Loathing will get the terrain, but the embedded models in the landscape seem like I challenge. I have access to Macs from 1994+ so I'm sure I can run whatever apps I need haha. Thanks! And I'll gladly use my computers to convert stuff if anyone needs help.

You can use Oak to export models into lightwave (LWO) format. The positions of the models on the map, there is no way to get really. You'd have to position them manually.

Oh cool. Thanks for the response. I downloaded Oak, but I can't figure out how to export Geo. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
