How to convert 3DS files to Raydium TRI format

The current method use the following path : 3DS -> .3ds -> Blender -> .tri -> Raydium.
Blender is the key, here, since it's able to import 3DS files (mesh + textures) and able to export TRI files.

Step 1: Downloads

• Download Blender: http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/
• Download Python, as asked by Blender (try to use the recommended version, at the end of Blender installation) : http://www.python.org/download/releases
• Download Raydium Blender scripts, available in source code and SDK. Direct link: http://raydium.org/svn.php?f=/trunk/triEXP-full.py

Step 2: Install

• Install Blender and Python (order does not matter)
• Copy triEXP-full.py in your "Blender private directory"
  • Linux: ~/.blender/scripts/
  • win32: C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts
