Any way to extract the 3D model for use in other games?

In the video below, the creator does export the body to Blender. Not sure If that´s what you´re looking for Emery. He does export It from BeamNG, so I would guess he first exports to BeamNG from Automation and then from there to Blender.

Sorry I can´t be of more help, I haven´t messed with any of this yet, just leaning the game for now.

Thanks!

Yes, after investigating a bit, BeamNG is somewhat integrated with Blender, something I wasn't aware of. Which makes Automation sort of a "Bob's Trackbuilder" for cars that can be put into any moddable game.

I've gotten myself to the point where I can readily modify existing meshes in Blender and even generate LODs, but creating the initial car has resulted in less than satisfactory results, so I can see Automation being a useful tool for us lesser-skilled people.

You´re welcome, glad It´s been of help. I have also learned a bit of how one could mod with you´re statements. This all makes for a whole new world to explore, thank you!

Here´s something I found for exporting to AC, not sure If Engine Crane will work with the latest Automation build but nevertheless still worthwhile knowing there´s tools out there...

Yeah, I saw that. May have to splurge on something I don't really need, LOL.

:D
I am on the fence with It. On one end I think It might just be to overwhelming, and on the other hand I think It can be a great learning tool, aside from the gaming aspect. I like cars but don´t know to much about them, just some basics. There´s also the port over to BeamNG which of course Is quite outstanding, and I also see folks use It for AC. So the balance does tilt In favor.

It doesn't go on sale much, only on mayor Steam sales like this one (Summer/Winter sales), again the weight on the balance Is about to break! LOL.
 
Okay, I'm splurging, darn it!

Edit: I really like how the shape adjusters work.
2nd edit: purchased with BeamNG to ensure I could grab the exports. Hopefully I won't go too far down the BeamNG rabbit hole!

Ok so I jumped the fence and bought Automation. This Is gonna be Interesting and a big hill to climb, at least for me.

BTW, Wrench Is also on sale, and Is having a major overhaul. I already have this from a few years back, just waiting for more core overhaul to be done as It´s practically all In the Beta branch and not In the main branch.
