Thanks ND,

Just to bring you up to speed - I have now worked out how to import vrml INTO Maya - so I tried that, but got the same results.

I tried 3D Max - but found that program to be far less intuitive on how to use the commands, so I gave up on that.
(Maya seems far easier to use).

I have tried to use Blender but the stupid program (or, stupid me) couldn't open the file in the first place :angery:

I will try it again (perhaps even reading the instructions this time).
This project is very important to me, not only for the game's sake, but if the younger members who play the game, see that an old codger like me can make models, they might be encouraged to have a go themselves.

I will let you know how I get on.

(P.S. very impressed by your page by the way).
(P.P.S. Inaz Dias visits our game forum on rare occasions and it was she who wrote the TOOL program which I use to try to finally convert the model back to the GM format).
