http://www.caligari.com/ truespace 7.5 , it does export in x. also ; could be fully compatible with 3dgs?
It may be rated over XSI fondation?

I have to much problems with truespace 7.5 for use with 3dgamestudio the x exporter not work very well (but that from ever)

and with the gamepak the think not goes better (the med support is very bad)

I waiting and hope the next version 7.6 have perfect .fbx support by the moment not have .fbx support and the collada to .fbx conversion not work

If you wait time to time they have very greats offer and can buy the software for less money (200 less)

What happened if you try to export an animated x file? Have you try to usa milkshape or Fragmotin to convert him before?

I have the gamepak addon and have milkshape export

the problems are animations lost (in any format I try, directx export, trought milkshape)

you can export static model with one texture (but need to use only .bmp, when try to import a model with texture in .tga or .dds the effects in med and wed are psicodelic textures "unkomon iverted colors")

the .obj in truespace is very bad and the import of .obj in med are good
truespace 7.5 have greats things(physics, animation...)
but the exported formats need improvements (support g6 .mdl but very bad if better to expor to milkshape and later to .mdl) (if you like to use for static model's are ok but by the moment for animations "if export in directx a model with two or more objects with two or more textures you have the uv bad)

I hope the new truespace 7.6 have .fbx

I export every model with diferent textures by parts and import in med with the apped option is the only form I can use

Is it finally worth using at all? I own version 2 and 4 and both were just bad when it comes to stability as both tended to crash often. From V6 owners I heard not much good either (and I also found V6 not so spectacular featurwise)...

V7 now looks more interesting though I'd rather go for XSI Foundation or Lightwave (which is more expensive but not THAT much and is just top notch). Are there any user reviews yet concerning the stability?

Hiya.

As to a direct answer to your subject title:
"Truespace: it worth for over 500 bucks".

The short answer is:
"Nope".

I started with tS (version 2, back on Windows for Workgroups 3.11/DOS!). Was with them up to and including version 4. But, they were going absolutely NOWHERE with animation, so I jumped ship. With tS 7.5, it's a LOT better, but still pretty damn slow to use in terms of animating...and the fact it doesn't work on Windows XP 64-Bit.

I would LOVE to give more money to Roman and his Caligari crew, but there is just no way in hell tS's price can be justified when there are packages out there like Lightwave, or Softimage XSI Foundation that can out model, out animate, out render and all around out perform tS.

I just erased the truespace demo and try to obtain something from xsi mod tool; I'd buy an animating package ONLY if is good with 3dgs.

why not go with c4d ($899, fbx export) or carrara pro ($569, fbx and *.x export)?
or blender

Broozar is right.

At least you should have a look at ventilators detailed animation tutorials for blender. Exporting to 3DGS included!
