Lucifer is correct - you can only use a modelling program which can save DB-compatible files like .X or .3DS.

I've only ever used .X files (DirectX models) myself, and I've not messed with 3DS. .X is DB's native object format.

However, I know free converter programs exist that will convert files from one type to another - like .COB to .3DS and so on.

Might be worth a quick Google...

It's one of the undocumented commands.
3DS2X

I believe I once posted a thread with a list of the undocumented commands in DBC.

It's the programmer's life:

I would download this software (see next link). This will export into many file formats and you can use it to uv your models.A great program.

Link is here and this version is free.
