blender, it´s free > http://www.blender.org/
It´s recommended to read the blender documentation to learn this program, it got´s a really huge field of functionality and possibility > http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual or watch youtube tutorials, there are a ton of it, or hop over to the maniapark tutorial section, there are also some helpful things > http://www.maniapark.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=14

For textures, use the ingame textures (list can be found in the nadeo importer material lib) or if you want to make your own, you can use gimp for that (it´s also free) > http://www.gimp.org/

For editing the xml files, it´s recommended to use notepad++ (also free) > http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

And last but not least the nadeo documentation and the importer (download the sample files also) > http://doc.maniaplanet.com/creation/importer/

I can´t do it because 1 file isn´t found
I am creating an small object called grass.
If you can help me you can download it here:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-cMu8 ... sp=sharing
Extract to yout items folder

The zip is a bit of a mess so its impossible to help because i do not know where these files really are located.

So a few hints:
The NadeoImporter must be next to the Maniaplanet.exe so something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\ManiaPlanet".
The fbx and xmls must be in something like "C:\Users\xxx\Documents\ManiaPlanet\Work\Items"

I would start by importing the Nadeo Samples so you know your Importer stuff works. And then modify these files.

Study these 3 links.

ConvertAssistant is also a useful program viewtopic.php?f=321&t=18999

Also in this forum there are many tutorials just search. Here is one i just saw now viewtopic.php?f=265&t=14097

Honestly the best way to make i work is by trying and doing it yourself so you understand whats going on
