 Ever thought about bringing props in to Moviestorm? Annoyed by being stuck with just Sketchup files? Have no fear, Chris is here with an easy to follow tutorial on using the easy and cheap 3d modelling tool Milkshape3d. Grab the attached zip file for a full Tutorial in PDF format along with example 3d meshes and the relevant export files. The tutorial teaches you how to take a 3d file (.3ds, .obj or .fbx format) in to Milkshape, adjust the textures, give it a skeleton, animate it and then export it. There is then a full description of setting up a prop in the Modders Workshop and how to get it on to set. Fingers crossed no one will have any problems, I've kept the process as simple as possible. And maybe some of you will take Milkshape even further and actually create your own assets from scratch with this wonderful little app - make sure you write some further tutorials and link them here  You will need to grab a copy of Milkshape from Chumbalumsoft here: http://chumbalum.swissquake.ch/ms3d/download.html You want the latest stable version - 1.8.4

This looks interesting, is there any way with Milkshape to crate 'Accessory' items..?
