Is there any way I can get the official 3D model of the tanks?

Specifically Railgun + Hornet. The in-game version when you go into camera mode is fine, but it would be better if I would be able to have a little more control over the 3D model. For example, I want to be able to toggle between perspective and orthognathic view and look directly at each face of the 3D model.

hey! Here I give you a tutorial on how to do it with blender and the FBX format:

You can also find all the 3D models and textures here by downloading the Tank Viewer. Once you extract the zip file, open the folder and navigate yourself to data and open the hulls/turrets folder. You can then use the 3DS to FBX file converter as mentioned above.

Might be possible with programs like "Blender". I believe @Spektrix can help you with that if he has some free time.

@Electroweak5 Did you get your answer?

@elcatalagamer Does this work for Autodesk Inventor? I'm much more familiar with Inventor than Blender, and I don't have enough storage space for Blender on my PC.

After I download "object.3ds", I get a notice that says "This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page."  I tried making Autodesk Inventor the default app for 3ds files, but Inventor doesn't even show up as an available app.

@elcatalagamer Sorry, but what's a fbx file? I don't see anything that ends in a ".fbx" under the Network section of the page inspector.

It is not in the inspector, you must convert the .3ds file to fbx with this converter: https://anyconv.com/3ds-to-fbx-converter/

@Electroweak5 Did you receive your answer?

[Electroweak5 3]

@elcatalagamer @NikmanGT 

Yes. Thank you it worked. Sorry for the late update. I tried to do something else with the file but it's okay now.
