Planet Coaster Import 3d Models
Import 3D Models Into Planet Coaster
Overview
Planet Coaster is a construction and management simulation video game developed by Frontier Developments. It allows players to build their own custom theme parks with detailed customization options. The game also allows players to import their own 3D models into the game, which can be used to create custom rides, buildings, and other objects. In this tutorial, we will discuss how to import 3D models into Planet Coaster.
Prerequisites
Before you can import a 3D model into Planet Coaster, you will need the following:
- A 3D model in .fbx or .obj format.
- An image file (.png or .jpg) for the model's texture.
- A text file (.txt) containing the model's animation data.
- Planet Coaster installed on your computer.
Step 1: Prepare the 3D Model
Once you have all of the necessary files, you can begin preparing your 3D model for import into Planet Coaster. Before you begin, make sure that the model is properly scaled and that its textures are properly mapped. If the model is too large or too small, it will not appear correctly in the game. Additionally, any textures that are not properly mapped may not appear correctly or may not appear at all.
Step 2: Convert the 3D Model to the FBX Format
Once the 3D model is properly scaled and textured, you will need to convert it to the .fbx format. This is the format that Planet Coaster uses for its 3D models. To do this, you will need a 3D modeling program such as Blender, 3DS Max, or Maya. If you do not have access to one of these programs, there are free online converters that can be used to convert the model to the .fbx format.
Step 3: Add the Model to Planet Coaster
Once the 3D model has been converted to the .fbx format, you can add it to Planet Coaster. To do this, open the game and navigate to the "Content" tab. Select the "My Content" option and then select the "Import Content" button. Select the .fbx file you created in step 2 and then select the "Import" button. The model will now be available in Planet Coaster.
Step 4: Create an Object from the Model
Once the 3D model has been imported into Planet Coaster, you can create an object from it. To do this, open the game and navigate to the "Objects" tab. Select the "My Objects" option and then select the "Create Object" button. Select the 3D model you imported in step 3 and then select the "Create" button. You will now be able to use this object in your custom theme parks.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we discussed how to import 3D models into Planet Coaster. We discussed the prerequisites for importing a 3D model and then we discussed the steps necessary to prepare, convert, and add the model to the game. Finally, we discussed how to create an object from the imported 3D model. By following the steps in this tutorial, you should be able to successfully import and use 3D models in Planet Coaster.
