Ok, you can post. I just did it as a pdf

Ha, nice. This is how I always convert units, since it's easier to customize units. All you need is a civ4 unit with a piece that you like and you can export it to obj for use with any model. That's how I did the Elf Archer (as well as most of my WHFB units).
Unfortunately this doesn't allow animation conversions, does it?

 

[Ekmek]

Nope. You need full nifscripts for that.

Doggone it. I'm having trouble converting Deliverator's Civ4 Scorpions and was hoping there was another way to do it. When I import the model with a .kf nothing happens and I get a Python error. But that's a question for the main C&C forum that I will post if it doesn't get better eventually.
