I have designed some 3d wireframes with Moray 3.1, and have rendered them with Pov-ray 3.1. I would like to convert these files into .x files (Direct X) for a 3d game. Is is possible to take the .POV files generated from Moray, import them to AC3D, and then convert them to .x files (or export to Direct X)?

The problem is getting the Povray file into AC3D. You may be able to use:

to get the povray file into a format the AC3D supports.

Thanks for the reply Andy.

Crossroads looks like a good program, but at the moment it will not import Povray 3.1 files. In the future it will, so I'll just have to be patient.

You might have to be VERY patient - notice that the program was last updated in 1998...

:oops: , I guess I should have checked the date on the last revision of Crossroads. Somehow I get the feeling that next revision will never happen...

So, I guess I'll just have to abandon Moray and learn how to use AC3D. The support seems excellent, and the interface seems pretty similar. It took me a year to learn Moray, I hope AC3D won't take quite as long... :wink:
