====== Model Editing ======

**The below was taken from Greths notes on the IGF .. As I go I will reformat and expand up this** 

===== Introduction =====

Near the end is a link to a ZIP file with some model packages.  Here's an overview on what the files are, and how to perform the basic conversions necessary for importing them into your editor of choice.

===== Common Files =====
 
Most files in the packages are self explanatory:

| .png | Textures or icons |
| *Tint.png | Specialized textures for defining adjustable color regions, like the kind used in character creation. |
| .colormap |  Each Tint.png has one of these (a simple text file) matching the color regions to their names. |
| .mesh | Binary file containing the Ogre mesh |
| .skeleton | Binary file containing the Ogre bone structure (coincides with the mesh file). |
| .material | A text file with render information, often associated with icons.  Player races and creatures used centralized materials defined elsewhere. |

===== Get Customising! =====
 
Now, depending on what you want to do, go to one of the sections below.
