Yes Sir,

Is the accent on the wa or the hoo?

and...please

What 3d program are you using to edit -not open to view - terrains, objects and skins ? Everything I have makes the objects the wrong color when opened... and the best terrain pic I have is 2d..

please, start here..

goto Terrains/Mods, Terrains, Tutorials... i recommend "Uncle Ahl's Terrain Tutorial For DF2" this will give you a basic idea of the files that make up the terrains, & how to easily edit them.

then come back to this thread. Wildman & Rot are the dudes you want to talk to, & both a very helpful

what are you trying to do?Make terrains for DF or c-4, or are you looking to make wallpapers / images of terrains.
Uncles tut is a eal good starting place.After reading that if you still have ??? then shoot.

Thanks...took me a while before figuring out you meant the downloads section...
And I should have specified that I'm looking at specifically at TFD and C4. All I need is to find find a format that I can link commonly among my 3d programs to them.

Thanks again.

Edited to Include: I think this topic may be heading into a graphics discussion. After downloading the tutorial and the other programs recommended, I glanced at them in hex mode and I think I've discovered the 3DI file purpose - (perhaps they 'place' the pcx and tga files for 3d rendering ?) Hmm...

Hit the Big 40 today.. and still dumb as ever ! Hey, but I try to improve..
