Question Using Blender 2.76

[richfororbit]

Hi,

I wanted to open one of the mesh files from Orbiter 2016 in Blender, I need a mesh file importer/exporter, is there one for this version of the program?

I made a basic sail using a free public domain sail image to texture it. It is based of the animation Starshot.

I added a cube looking like a rectangle, probably will need a texture from a mother board or something for detail.

Anyone here can render it in blender.

So this can get to the Moon very quickly, I don't remember the details of the probe, how fast it would travel and all that. Reminds me a little of project Orion or the Daedalus.

Starshot is meant to do a quick flyby, so going to the Moon should get to the vicinity of it. The actual probe would be pushed by lasers, but in this case I think just propellant with no actual light?

Vlad's Blender plugin still works fine, but you might have to assign textures manually.

The sail has been textured, it wasn't much of a problem.

As for the cylinder in the center I don't know for that. But a computer chip image for the top of the probe.
