Depending on what modeling programs you have, making a POF can be done in three ways:
			*[[Blender]] can output a DAE file, which can then be imported into [[PCS2]] if you have installed the [[Collada Importer]]. For more information, see [[Blender to POF conversions]].
			*[[TrueSpace]] can save a model as a COB file, which can be directly imported into [[PCS2]].
			*[[3DSMax]] can export POF files via a plug-in, although further tweaking in [[PCS2]] may be needed.

The *.IBX filetype caches 3D model information. It is stored in the data/cache folder of the main game or the mod folder that you have selected (in SCP). It's recommended that you include the relevant *.IBX files with any campaign you release with modded ships, as this will save the user a bit time.

==POF==
*.POF files are used to hold model data.
The following properties are held in a POF file: (alphabetical order)
*Central point of the model
*Docking points
*Heading
*Paths
*Squadron logo location
*Subobject behaviour, radars, debris, LODs
*Subsystem locations, their radii and naming
*Thruster locations and radii
*Turret fire points and normals

.POF files can be made using [[Truespace]] and the [[PCS]] kit. Truespace can be used to create a 3D .COB file; the dock point, turret fire point, etc. information listed above can be added using PCS, allowing you to export the model from COB to POF.
