Is it possible for game models to be add into this game? I am no program only thing i do is play around with 3d modeling.

Yes it is possible. You need to create some additional preferences like;
Client side
- create an object for your model in /data/cm_objects.xml
- create an entry for your object type in /data/object_types.xml
- create a recipe for your new object in /data/recipe.xml
- create a recipe requirement to build this object in /data/recipe_requirement.xml

Server side
- create an object for your model in /data/cm_objects.xml
- create SQL entry's for object_types table in your lif database
- create SQL entry's for the recipe table in your lif database
- create SQL entry's for the recipe_requirement table..

voila your model is now buildable ingame.

P.S. You need to convert your model into Torque3D .dds & .dts
maybe send a pm to Custodian he seems a bit more experienced like me.

Or you may describe process yourself, as you have added a lot of custom buildings and objects to your test server

Is there any way to export an LiF-.dds/.dts model into Blender (or Maya)?

We´ve got some 3D-Modelers with itchy fingers, but as I heard they´d need some kind of scale (and it would also be nice to use original textures).

The only way I've found it with the help of Ultimate Unwrap 3D. But it is not affordable and therefore not tested on how good it is.

This is for blender to import and export .dts

This is a plugin for gimp to export .dds blender will open .dds textures already.

I have gotten as far as loading my models in game and collision works. Had some issues with grouping and didn't know the correct layout. I made a new stone wall and am trying to use the DDS textures from the original stone wall. Getting just a solid gray object in game as if it's using the material color I chose in blender.
