I finally decided to give this a try. and I'm stuck. every time I import into blender it says error and closes. I did everything up tightest point but cannot get past it.
Ok. That problem was because of the wrong version. Now the only problem is what it looks like.
Could you tell me whats wrong with it? It has no color, and when I tried to open the ase as a word document to edit it, the page numbers kept on increasing.
How many subparts does it have? The textures usually don't import with the model, so if there's only a few subparts, you can import them yourself and apply them manually.
If you imported into word and it took awhile to load, odds are it has a bunch of subparts. Try notepad or wordpad, they're simpler.
