 Like with DDS textures, your modeling program will not automatically be able to import your TS3 meshes. You'll need to install a GEOM plugin first.

 TSRW uses it's own 3D mesh format called Workshop Objects (.wso). These meshes are only compatible with Milkshape 3D.
-The import/export plug-in files are included in the installation files for TSR Workshop and they must manually be installed like any other Milkshape 3D plug-in.
