I would select .3ds then it asks for a tanne-st .dds file. then a pine-le .dds then a tanne ka .dds file. I think it's in German. Has anyone here used any of the pure3D models?

I've figured that they mean pine-le = leaf tanne-st = stem (trunk) tanne-ka = branch however, even when importing them as such into WED, the leaves are a solid skin. There seems to be no transparency values. I'm still new to this, maybe there is something missing.

WED has nothing to do with MED ^^" You need to copy the texture files out of the separated folder, directly into the folder where your 3ds or fbx file is! Best would be: Open the 3ds file in a modeling tool like 3dsmax, c4d or whatelse.. and export it again as 2011-FBX File. The FBX now includes the texture mapping.. Open MED -> File -> Import from FBX (2011) -> Save as MDL This MDL File can be loaded into WED and you�re happy Selling my Acknex Engine Editions (A7 Com & A8 Pro): >> click here if you are interested <<

As follows However, when I try exporting to Milkshape ASCII then importing from MED, I get the following. The same has happened for a few models already which textures quite well in milkshape.

Maybe they should add transparencies to WED? Or maybe there are enough 3rd party and quite inexpensive options such as milkshape anyway. Thanks, Vien.
