hog Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Hi, I'm learning DirectX and have discovered that apparently you can import a mesh into VB.NET for use in DX9. Does anyone know if any of these files are compatible? 3D studio .3ds WaveFront .obj Vertex .vtx C source file .c anim8or .an8 I realise .c should be, one is attached, but have lnog since forgotten C and not sure how to convert it for VB use? Any help please??sphere.c Quote My website
*Experts* mutant Posted December 10, 2003 *Experts* Posted December 10, 2003 DirectX uses .X files as its format. All the major 3D graphics designer programs should have the ability to export to an .X file, or at least have plugins for it. Quote
hog Posted December 10, 2003 Author Posted December 10, 2003 thnx mutant. I have enquired if anim8or can do this or has a plugin to do it as this is the app I use. Quote My website
hog Posted December 10, 2003 Author Posted December 10, 2003 there is a lot of talk on the anim8or site about conv3ds.exe a directx utility for converting .3ds files to .x Is this no longer available with directx9 and if not do you know of a replacement? Quote My website
hog Posted December 10, 2003 Author Posted December 10, 2003 Well I have found it now:) and it does convert 3ds to x ok:) http://www.microtower.com/cgi-bin/menu.cgi Quote My website
rifter1818 Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 One thing i found more helpfull than that converter Was the panda plugin for 3ds max 5 it allows you to export directly from 3d studio max and i like the interface for it better and find it easier to use, Hope this helps someone out there :D Harry Quote
