Default Re: Rendering Programs

Hmmm... Problematic to say the least. Have you had any luck loading a Bryce exported .X file into another modelling program. If I just had to do the texturing in a seperate program, it probably wouldn't be too bad. Might even lead to some interesting results since I've noticed most of the programs I've looked at support adding different textures to different faces, so I'm sure I could come up with something neat. If it works, that is.

First the only thing I have that allows the loading of .x files is LithUnwrpa and it errors out when loading.. invalid file format.

Second I just found out that Amapi 5.15 is now a free download at..
Amapi.net downloads

I hear it's a very good modeling program, and I like the price, it fits my non-existant budget to a 'T'

Just thought I'd share this info. I don't know what file formats it supports for import/export but when I get a moment I'll install it and let you know. (if you don't find out on your own first and beat me to the post.)

Cheers!

Bummer. Pulled down Amapi as well. Haven't really had time to do anything, or actually figure out how to do anything, but in terms of exporting it doesn't look like it does .X directly, but there's a good few that it can export to (like DXF for example) that should be pretty easy to convert to .X...
