[Question] Map to Blender

[ladiszlai]

Hello , Jk Hub Community

 

I've got a question :

 

Is it possible to convert the Jedi academy bsp map file to obj or anything 3d model format ( that I can open in blender) ?

 

I tryed to convert the map to obj with GTK Radiant 1.5 (in the plugin section) but this is not converting the map correctly because this is not make .mtl file , so I can't open in blender.

 

Please help somebody, I really want this .

Q3Map2 can convert BSP to ASE, and I have an importer for that in my Blender Plugin Suite.

It has not been tested with any Blender version beyond 2.69.

Thank you , I downloaded the plugin but I've got a problem : When I try to import the ASE file the blender stuck on loading (I waited 1 hour but the blender just loading , loading...), I use blender 2.64 . Can you help me please ?

It should take no more than a couple of seconds, typically; are you loading some insanely large map? Not sure what the problem is...

I don't think it is a large map , I tryed to load the Mustafar map from Kotf.

It is a large map. Not extremely large, but large. Try a duel map to begin with.

Yes, the blender load the small maps, but I need for the mustafar map.

 

Anybody have got ideas how can I load large maps ?

If you can load small maps, you can load large maps as well.

But they take way more time to load in Blender.

I waited 2 hours  but nothing happened 

[mrwonko]

I did not have people loading whole maps in mind when I wrote the importer, it was meant to be used for smaller map objects... I'm not sure what's taking so long though, I don't see any obvious bottlenecks.

Now working

 

 

I waited a lot of time and the blender opened the map but this lagged as hell , I fixed the lag on this way : I saved the ASE to .blend file

[mrwonko]

What did you do?

[Asgarath83]

There is also a program called Deled with a plug in map importer suite that allows to load JK3 map into blender with all textures and materials, too. i have used for pass some map for a friend for her creative hobby. can be good for the large maps.

you need to load the map into Deled and after convert it in a format importable on blender. (Obj, Collada, Ase...)

Can you help me please with an another question : How can I import  the textures to the map in blender  ? 

[mrwonko]

The textures are imported in some way, I think as material names. You could probably load them as materials using the python console.

Considering that you have been waiting for hours until it was finally loaded, I think you should upgrade the hardware of your computer a little bit.

Because depending on the hardware (CPU and RAM), the loading times can vary severely.

I have 8 gb RAM , my CPU : AMD fx 6300 ,I don't think i need to upgrate my PC.....

What do You mean correctly ?

[mrwonko]

It could just be a problem with the plugin/blender. Could you upload the ASE so others can see how long it takes them to import?

Now, I don't need to fix this problem because I already imported the map to blender.

 

Now I need to know how can I add the textures for the map in blender.

 

I can add the textures by hand, but this is a long time.

I made it by hand (This was around 10-20 min) :
