What's a good alternative to Vertex Modifier?

It no longer runs for me (since I installed Windows 7). When I checked, it seems no one can get it to work either using the new OS.

Any alternatives to it? Or perhaps a way to make it work again?

Thanks.

I have it working in Windows 7 absolutely fine, but I did do an in-place upgrade from Vista so there may be old artefacts keeping things alive. What error are you getting? Perhaps we can help fix it.

Magos' Model Editor provides *some* VM functionality, as does Guesst's Warforger. I've heard rumours of MDLVis but I know nothing about that program.

I'm going to ask stupid question but have you tried compatibility mode? what have you tried?

Well, Oinkerwinkle's tools are very, very old and it is highly possible that they're simply incompatible with newer OSs.

However, you might still want to check Oinkerwinkle's site. When I first installed Vertex Modifier, I received an error about something I no longer remember with a link to Oinkerwinkle's site, saying that there is a tutorial about fixing it in there. So I suggest you check around and see if you could somehow find a tutorial in there.

it's also possible that xp box will fix it although I've never tried it and don't know how to run it.

Well, as I can think of now is MDLvis, it's a russian tool (there is an english version, but it's unstable).

The best program is mdlvis, those russians know how to make a good program.
its in a russian site, but if you google mdlvis eng or mdlvis english, there should be a rusian website. If you traduce it with google, you can find the download link.
It has some bugs when geomerging(when detaching vertices)but it's by far the best tool.
DOWNLOAD IT!!!
