so

i have made a probe model and want it to orbit mars and have like the name tags similiar to ur space thingies u made

ive read the manual and i cant really find any tutorial

[brazen turtle]

Sorry, but you'll have to explain better... 😀 Are you unable to import, or have you imported it and don't know how to orbit Mars? What do you mean when you say that your name tags are similar to mine?

If you're searching for a video tutorial, look here:

[brazen turtle]

What?

[warm prawn]

how do u do it because i love ur models

i swear just an simplified answer helps

Bani, I still don't understand what you're asking... maybe it's a language issue. Where are you from? I'm writing to you using Google Translate... You say you've read the manual, but from what you write, it doesn't seem like it. Or you just didn't understand. There's no simplified procedure; what you need to do is written in the manual and shown in the video. Have you tried? What did you do? Did you export the model in .OBJ format? Did you create an .SSS file? Did you put the .OBJ and .SSS files in the same folder under addons/models? Etc., etc.
