Default Re: Cryengine 3 exporter

Too much of a hassle if you ask me. Very inefficient.

I have no experience of this but it looks like you can convert Collada files to this engine's format. There are probably other converters too.
That looks more doable, but it's still not what I would prefer the most.
Canīt a script or something make it possible to directly on export from AC3D to run it trough that converter ?

But still, it's ideal for hobbyists to model and quickly export to CE3 format at low costs.
