I want to scale down the size of an old model already in the game, specifically the small spin disk, )I want a spin disk that is the size of a ball) but I cant find any software that will import FP models. I found a link that says it can import FPX models into Blender, but the file link is dead. Does anyone have this file: Addon-Fpx-File-io_scene_fpx.zip  ???

FP uses a modified milkshape format.

 

You need to use the FPM Editor tool here:

 

FPM Editor for Future Pinball 1.9 (pinsimdb.org)

 

...and then use that to export the model to milkshape, then use Milkshape to convert to FBX or OBJ to use in Blender.

Hello budy, how are you?

I found this link.  It may be to an older version.  https://app.box.com/...elgm63i7xbiu3g5

TerryRed's old link doesn't work now.  The current version is 1.0.2.  It looks like the posting on Message 5 above is v1.0.2 but you can also get the FPM Editor here:
