Tutorial custom ramp

[Zobou]

Hello, I was wondering if there was a tutorial that existed for the custom ramp, I would like to know how to position it to have the right dimensions at the right scale. I use milkshape to get 3d objects in Fp, but I always do it by trial and error

Some create their ramps first in FP, then export it to Blender or milkshape and create a custom ramp model from that, then import it back into FP as a Ramp model.

@20degree - I believe you have a tutorial for this?

Blender is definitely the way to go. I recommend using that over Milkshape, though my workflow is to go from FP -> Blender -> Milkshape -> FP.

Let me know if you want any help on making ramps.

Here are a few tutorial links:

(all in milkshape)

if you want to go down the blender route (it has high payoffs)

Thanks, I'll look at that and I should understand eventually
Merci, je vais regarder ça et je devrais finir par comprendre.

Bon courage, mais c'est comme cela qu'on progresse.
Good luck, but that’s how we progress.

Here I show you how I do a scaling. I'm creating a simple cube, but this would work for any other object, like a ramp for example.

I realized that you can't get a render (Blueprint) with default ramps in Fp. So for those who prefer to use MilkShape 3D, there is a method to import them from blender and then modify as needed. It works pretty well, thanks for the info.
