Beautifully done. One of the better Wings tutorials, I've seen in years.

To import Skinmeshes into 3drad you DONT need to use the Install option in the editor window. Hopefully you were smart enough to make a new folder and save everything in we've made so far. In there we'll create two more folders, one named "index" and the other has your models name. ''wheel" or "whatever" will do fine, just make sure you rename your thumbnail exactly the same name ... "whatever.jpg". Then put the Thumbnail in the "index" folder and the textures and the mesh.x in the other. Now open that folder and rename the mesh "000_mesh.x", rename the normal map "000_nm.jpg" and if you want a shadow, copy and paste the 000_mesh.x file and rename that one "000_shadow.x"

Then just copy both those folders into your \objects\Skinmesh\Data folder and they're imported. Some side notes, If you want to share with the community, you should open your .x mesh file with notepad and remove the full path and just leave the texture name, this way their computer isn't looking for a file on your hard drive, notice mine had a D:\ drive, not everyone has a D:\ drive .... Also for installing Rigid bodies, go ahead and use the Install option in the game editor and then replace the files created. You'll want the .coo file or whatever that is ....

I was just looking at your tutorial and I see that one of the plugin links you posted does not lead to a plugin, and as you have not explained what it should lead to I can't search for it on the site - please can you let me know what the plugin should be? (Or fix the non-working link)
Thanks.
Thanks.
