Direct X importer
Greetings,
Just wanted to know if you will be adding a .X importer to Ac3d for those people still working with .x models? Regards, LordFelis |

Re: Direct X importer
Check menu Help->About-Importers. AC3D imports .x files. The problem is that many exporters output .x in different ways, which makes import difficult.
AC3D uses Assimp - see this for comments on the Direct X support: https://assimp.sourceforge.net/formats/X.html |

Re: Direct X importer
Hi Andy,
On the features page , it doesn’t say .x importer supported only export. But I see on another page where you have the 64 bit 8.3 version of AC3D it shows the new file formats supported. By the way I don’t have the software as yet. So that’s why I asked the question. I have been following the developments of the software for a long time. I see some old file formats that are supported like .md2 and 3D gamestudio’s .mdl file format and the fbx file format. Which is a positive step forward for those tools to still be used. Which is great news. Maybe down the track I will buy your software. Also I see that the .ndo file format from the old nendo software is supported I wonder if your importer can import nendo successfully because wings3d can’t it crashes the program. Also assimp I have used in the past but sadly it’s not been updated in 8 years I have the last version of the binaries from around 2010 or 2011.

Re: Direct X importer
Ooops - thanks, features page fixed.
If the file formats are unchanged (and many are static), Assimp is still good 8) I'd suggest downloading the AC3D demo and giving it a go. |

Re: Direct X importer
Ok I will take a look �� at the demo version of the program. Also maybe �� you should do a new updated list of the 3D file formats on the features page. Also the .ase importer isn’t ticked either.
As for assimp I found that it was a great program years ago hence the reason why I downloaded it and used it back then. Pity it’s no being worked on anymore. However I did find another program that’s similar but I just can’t remember it off the top of my head. The answer will come to me in due course.
