[Help] Made new Vehicles from 3D

Hello, What are the steps to add a vehicle from a random 3D model? i have some trouble if need skeleton etc

Adding a new vehicle to a game or simulation involves several steps, including importing the 3D model, creating a skeleton if necessary, rigging the model, and then importing it into the game engine or simulation software. Here are the steps you can follow:
​

1. Import the 3D model into a 3D modeling software such as Blender, Maya, or 3ds Max. Ensure that the model is properly scaled and oriented.​
2. Check if the model needs a skeleton or not. If the model has separate parts that need to be animated individually, you may need to create a skeleton to control them. This is often the case for vehicles that have moving parts such as doors or wheels. You can create a skeleton using the modeling software's bone or joint tools.​
3. If necessary, rig the model by assigning vertices to the bones in the skeleton. This will allow the skeleton to control the movement of the model's individual parts. The rigging process varies depending on the software you are using, but generally involves selecting vertices and assigning them to specific bones.​
4. Once the model is rigged, export it in a format that is compatible with your game engine or simulation software. Common file formats include FBX, OBJ, and COLLADA.​
5. Import the rigged model into your game engine or simulation software. Depending on the software, you may need to set up materials, textures, and lighting.​
6. Finally, add the vehicle's physics properties such as mass, friction, and gravity. This will allow the vehicle to interact with the environment and other objects in the game or simulation.​

It's worth noting that the specific steps and tools required may vary depending on the software you are using and the requirements of your project. However, these general steps should give you a good starting point for adding a new vehicle to your game or simulation.​
