TDU World Editor

Introduction

After editing by hand some sectors for the next update of Project Paradise, I thought it could be nice to create a proper map editor for TDU. After all, that's the only part of the game which has never been modded before. (and yes, next pp update should come soon, so less pm spam everyone thanks)

Description

Even if it's called "Editor", this tool is a toolbox to export your files in your favorite 3D editor (maya, 3DS max, blender,... any editor as long as it's compatible with .obj) and obviously do the opposite.

This choice as been made simply because I didn't want to make the usage of a cheap and badly written 3D editor an obligation.

.obj has a pretty basic structure making easy to build an object from nothing.
