.3ds to .X convert

[razdazzle]

Anyone know of a converter that will convert from .3ds to .X without and keep the animation data? I have microsofts conv3ds.exe file which works ok for files without animation but when you specify that you want to keep the frame data ie conv3ds -A file.3ds(in dos) it throws an error and the .X file contains no frame data. any ideas?

Have you tried Deep Exploration or PolyTrans/NuGraf ?

Use Panda Direct3D Exporter.

What version of 3ds do you use...

The panda exporter does not work fully with version 7, if you are using 6 or below it works like a charm. I also have a small list of them on my site, See link in sig.

I dont do modelling so I dont have 3DS. Although I used to, but I deleted it (long story).

I use Milkshape3D now, (I dont really use it, but just in case I need to test something out) and it exports directly into *.x format.

Hint: Milkshape releases a new beta every month or so, trial expires after 1 month - theyre kind of dumb wouldnt you agree?

In either case, I didnt know 3ds max 7 was out. Pretty cool.

Hey I like your site - I had the same idea in my mind. Feels good to help people though. If you need any help starting up to your site, just give me a PM.

PS: Ill put a link on my site to yours to get the trafic flowing, if you want.
