T3D Staticmeshes files are generated with the UCC command in order to export all StaticMeshes data from package or level. It creates one .t3d file for each unique staticmesh found in the package. They are exported using this command:

Sample File: Some basic triangle in Unreal Editor


<uscript> Begin StaticMesh Name=TriOriginal

   Version=2.000000 BoundingBox.Min.X=-128.000000 BoundingBox.Min.Y=-128.000000 BoundingBox.Min.Z=0.000000 BoundingBox.Max.X=128.000000 BoundingBox.Max.Y=128.000000 BoundingBox.Max.Z=0.000000 //Unknown effect
   Begin Triangle
       Texture SMTest.Tex.256x256 //Texture applied to the triangle
       SmoothingMask 0 //Unknown effect
       Vertex 0 128.000000 128.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 //Vertex Coordinates (x,y,z)+ Texture U,V data
       Vertex 1 -128.000000 -128.000000 0.000000 0.000000 -1.000000
       Vertex 2 -128.000000 128.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
   End Triangle

End StaticMesh </uscript>

The vertices are ordered differently from the last one to the first one if we compare with T3D brush.

T3D Brush data:
<uscript> Vertex -00128.000000,+00128.000000,+00000.000000

            Vertex   -00128.000000,-00128.000000,+00000.000000

Converting T3D StaticMeshes to ASE file

These T3D files can be used and converted as ASE (3D Ascii Scene) files in order to convert staticmeshes to UT3 as the UT3 editor allows to import .ase files.

Here is the algorithm to use (.ase file data): <uscript>
