3dobuilder probably doesn't support HD GAFs since this extension of the GAF format has been created for TA3D (also note that its specifications have changed between 0.5.0 and 0.6, this is the reason why 0.5.3 was released so early, to replace the old format before anyone starts using it).

Those models are Evolva models, TA3D already ships several models from the last Evolva pack (their authors let us distribute it with TA3D :) ). They are great, but now with 3DMEditor2 we'll have the possibility to create even more beautiful models :) (ambient occlusion features give very good results :D)

3DMEditor2 should be easy to use, but it's not finished yet. Try current version and tell us what's wrong, what's great, what could be improved, ... I am not willing to being the animation part without having any feed back.
Current code should be able to handle very complex models but using such models in game could greatly impact performance with current mesh renderer, however we could use adaptive levels of details, so that close models are rendered with lots of details whereas those which are far are rendered with less polygons.

I added several features that should help taking a model (in any of the supported format), split/merge it into pieces that you can manipulate from scripts. The auto UV mapping features are not yet ready but it already allows having a preview of what the ambient occlusion lightmap maker can do. I could spend more time describing each feature but you'd better try it by yourself.

Yeah a small howto would be useful, I'll probably write one this week (I am traveling to Paris in train, I'll have 5 hours to do that :p).

I've written some docs in the train, but I think there is till lots of things missing to 3DMEditor 2 before even having a real model editor. ok you can create some basic objects, add a few nice advanced effects, but you still cannot edit objects geometry.

You mean you couldn't import a 3DO model in 3DMEditor 2, right ?
Then it's normal 3DO support has not been implemented yet in 3DMEditor 2.
