OT: Looking for free 3d converter...

...That supports 3ds and .x file formats. Thanks.

I used to have a program called 3dsconv which converted 3ds files to X; can't remember what ever happened to it though. Might have been part of the DirectX SDK, but that's over 200 MB... LithUnwrap can convert between formats though, if I recall correctly...

Lithunrwap can indeed do conVersions from/to those two file formats.

Thanks. I already have Lithunwrap; I guess I was just thinking of it as just an unwrapper. Unfortunatly, it has too many Groups for Lithunwrap.

(useless post with useless link)

Um...ok, maybe I'm just to tired or something, but I can't find a download link there.

Oh, and could you shorten the link, please? Thanks.

Sorry, I thought I edited that...

Try this one:

Got a link to just the conv3ds tool without the rest of the silly DirectX SDK (they don't even ship it with the SDK anymore I found out, you have to get DirectX 7 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

Thanks.

there is a tool called Crossroads which I think can do what you want, but it might be a little buggy.

EDIT: Well.. it supports 3DS, and writes to .X, but it can read .X

And thanks to you too.
