I made an OBJ exporter for blueprints. Now you can import your ships to any 3D modeling program.

    Thankyou for this, again. :D
    It's brilliant! Is there any possible way to avoid having to do all that alignment stuff?

    Nice ship! I like it.

    Yes, I am working on it. The exporter should do that for you in the newer release.

    This absolutely fantastic!

    I believe its time for me to learn how to use 3D modeling programs :)

    Well... Alright... I will but after I fix some bugs.

    If anyone want a wallpaper of a ship, PM me and I will put you on a queue.

    I do now own Cinema 4D so I can't tell you exactly, but if you wait a couple of hours I will release a new version of the exporter which exports UVs as well.

    Right now you can try to look for: "cubic projection" or "box projection" (Don't know which one) and set the size of the box to 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 Also, I made a small tutorial in main post about how to import the models to 3Ds Max, it uses same technique.

    It may be a problem with Cinema 4D
    OBJ file has different problems with different software.

    Check import settings in Cinema.... Make sure you have exported textures (a texture folder will be created) and also make sure that *.obj and *.mtl files are right next to that folder.

    One thing you can try is to copy *.obj and *.mtl file into "texture" folder you have exported. That way Cinema will find surely find all *.png files. If that does not help, try to import it in different program (for example Blender, it is free) and then export it in another format, more stable and more supported with Cinema 4D

    I hope that helps. If not, let me know.
