- Maestro's tutorial of Upspring and textures.
- Basic s3o unit making guide
- Simple Game Tutorial
- Wings UV Mapping Tutorial
- Saving polygons in Wings3d Tutorial

Legacy Porting Tools
Models - 3do Files
-NOTE- this is and outdated model format used by OTA
(Note: UpSpring has some problems with empty objects and groundplates)
