Importing vertex meshes into Unreal
Part 1) Intro
Unreal Engine 1 is one of the older engines which seems to be user unfriendly when it comes to importing new animated meshes into the game. In this tutorial I like to share my workflow how I prepare and export meshes from blender and get it into Unreal / Unreal Tournament.
Part 2) _a.3d & _d.3d
Unreals vertex mesh format require two different files to work as an animated mesh. Skywolf wrote an exporter for Blender which allows you to export your mesh to the right format!
