Default Problem: Export .x -> Z3D XModel Viewer

Hi,

i am currently evaluating ac3d. I am going to use it mostly to create direct x (.x) model files.

i have created a simple model and then exported it as .x

however, i cannot get it loaded into the Z3D XModel Viewer. It just wont display anything. Any suggestions ?

The AC3d model file:
http://www.ready3.net/test.ac

The exported .x file:
http://www.ready3.net/test9.x


Thanks.

I don't know about the Z3D XModel Viewer, but does it work in the Microsoft .x model viewer (DXViewer.exe)? That might tell you if it's the file or the viewer.

i think you are right and the viewer doesnt work well. i am now using a different viewer and it shows the models correctly (even tho i wish it had antialias).

Do you know of a place to get the dxviewer.exe without having to download/install the full directx sdk ?

Thanks.

I think the SDK is the only way to get it, but you can try Microsoft's site and see if they have a stand-alone version.

The SDK is totally worth the download though even if you don't plan to do any coding. There are a lot of other nice tools in there besides the model viewer, like a shader editor and graphics diagnostics, and it's all free.
