Hello, and welcome to the forum!

As far I know, there are a few, useful tools for it, here. Then, you can see SOAP`s guide at how exactly to do it, and download Milkshape3D from here. Hope this helps.

Best Regards:
Nick

For now, you can only use Milkshape for models. Maybe in the future there will be a Zmod plugin.

Not sure as to the poly limit, but the vertex limit is ~256 for cars. I was making a vertex patch that successfully raised it to over 3000 verticies, but my latest attempt which raises it past 8000 crashes at seeming random points in time, which I am trying to fix. However I have had less time lately, so I haven't worked on it much.

Or to export the model in .3ds format, and edit it in Zmodeler or 3DS max ;)
Same as you need to convert it in NFS4 or MM2.

As for the Zmod filter, I think Oleg M. could help us.

It would be fine, but I think after the vertex limit patch release.

Well I`ve asked time ago about making own filters for zmodeler for TD5, traffic TD5 (.PRR) and one for Midnight Club. No response yet. :(

Of course. There will not any, because oleg doesn`t develop Zmodeler 1x anymore. Anyway, I`m going to created filters for Zmodeler (I get a SDK filter examples). I`m currently trying to make them.
