but there are some settings in blender fbx export ( outerra can import only fbx) that I don't know which to use
default is smoothing only normals



Also in blender if I remove extra parts there remains a hole in the hull

[Canopus]

yes I see your max model has these armour belts more clearcut than seen in blender. But it seems this is just a visual artifact of how blender renders.
Once imported into outerra it seems fine, same as your picture. So it looks not correct in blender but actually it will be correct in outerra....well allmost..some parts seem not smooth enough (those triangulations in the hull)

here are a few pictures of how the case looks with different smooth groups in 3d max, I think this should matter when importing into the game engine.

OK looks better in Max

let me throw you an export file from 3d max to format .fbx

[fly77]

directly imported fbx into outerra but no improvement. Still those triangulation shadows. (with cloudy sky you can see them less)   maybe we need to ask help from somebody else here who did 3D modelling for outerra and knows this stuff better than me. I only know the very basics of blender and have no understanding of how 3D modelling works.
Also in blender 2.79 which I use I couldn't import your fbx as it says something like 7100 not supported only 6100 or viceversa

I think I remembered that I was advised about these shadows on this forum in the Russian topic of the forum, now I will do the same thing that then I will throw you a new file

[fly77]

OK

[Canopus]

OK

i applied modifier unwrap UVW, now it should get better. sent you a new file.

[fly77]

red is the new .obj imported into blender and from there exported to outerra as fbx
white is your new .fbx imported direclty into outerra.

still the same

Perhaps, since that time something has changed, I was guided by the advice given here on the forum, then a similar problem was solved. We have to wait for the weekend, so that I would clear the disk space and reinstall the outerra, this will save you from empty experiments. Just in case, here is this topic, I do not know how to do it described there in a blender: https://forum.outerra.com/index.php?topic=1588.msg41395#msg41395

[fly77]

OK thanks

[Canopus]

OK thanks

thank you for your time. by the weekend I will install the engine and make some new parts of the ship.

Greetings fly77, it's been a long time since we corresponded, I even forgot the password from this forum and couldn't log in here, today I talked to the local administration and I was registered again. I haven't picked up a 3D editor for a long time and have already forgotten a lot, but now I have a lot of free time and I'm thinking about doing 3D modeling again, I thought my Lützow model was lost, but today I was reviewing the contents of folders on disks and found my favorite Lützow. Now my first priority plans are to make a 3D model of the submarine 945 of the Barracuda project, or according to you, "Sierra-I". It was the best boat in the world for its time, and even now it is not inferior to modern boats. Its hull is made of titanium, so it is not afraid of rust. Anyway, I want to ask you if you can help me make it playable for Outerra Anteworld? My father built this boat. He worked at this factory until his retirement, and when I was in school, he invited me to the factory to look at the boats in the workshops.I remember how angry I was at the officials of that time who were sorry to allocate money for the completion of the last boat of the series and let it be used for scrap.

OK thanks

Hello, fly77, are you completely missing, are you ill by any chance? I'm very tired today trying to install this game, now I'll wait for the drivers for the video card to download and try again.
These developers deliberately deleted the file converter, now it doesn't work. If you try to click on the importer's window, a MicroProse advertisement pops up, in which there is not a single word about the release date of the Outerra World Sandbox. In general, this long-term construction game is very likely to never come out.

Hello fly77, here are screenshots of my submarine, it has not been fully made yet, I would really like to see it in the game.
