The directions should be fairly easy to follow, it would be hard to figure out your issue without more information on what you are doing with the ship files.Since i am new to the site and can't create my own thread i am going to ask here (thread hijack...sorry) Are there more detailed instructions on how to import models into SE? I am super interested in learning, however following the instructions I found on this site for importing .obj files...I haven't had any success. Ships always appear....well they don't appear at all when I build them in SE. I have tried with a few 3ds models i found on the web. I have converted/exported them to .obj files in 3ds max, but they all turn out the same. Any suggestions or tips?
One reason for your problem might be that you use incorrect folder names.
Sorry that is has been a few days. I appreciate the responses.One reason for your problem might be that you use incorrect folder names.
For example 'addons\models\spacecrafts' or 'addons\textures\spacecrafts' instead of 'addons\models\spacecraft' and 'addons\textures\spacecraft'. Without 's' in the end!
(In earlier versions of SpaceEngine it was 'spacecrafts').
The system already exists in SpaceEngine.

I got the model from www.trekmeshes.ch. Thank again for the assistance. I am sure it is something i have done or not done that is causing the problem, but I am a noob trying to learn.Cpt.Picard, nothing I can do with that model besides standard detail diffmap. Your obj file has no data for an MTL file and your MTL file is blank.
You need to export it again and preserve the texture information, or provide a link to where you got the model and I can look into it for you.
Here is a very simple 'tutorial': A very simple tutorial on how to create a solar system.
Be careful with that site. The author of that site is a known copyright infringer who has been banned from the Celestia community, iirc. At one point, the original copyright holders had to sign up to the Celestia forum and post in order to expose the infringers. [hr] Edit: Anyways, a few questions of my own. Firstly, I am considering releasing a music mod, similar to Pluton's, but my own choices in addition to some of his choices. My choices include several songs from a few Nintendo games. However, since Nintendo has been extremely aggressive as of late in cracking down on shared files, is it worth the risk? Or might it be safe to post my music mod here?I got the model from http://www.trekmeshes.ch. Thank again for the assistance.

You have wrong quotes - “ instead of ".
