X 3d models format

[Frenchgui]

Hi! I'm about to buy leadwerks on Steam, just want to know if there's a way to use .x animated 3d models in this engine , as I have a lot of them . Or can I convert them, while keeping animations? Thanks.

LE does not convert .x files for you. There are other programs that can do this. I use Ultimate Unwrap 3D (don't let the name scare you, it has a ton of model format conversions). You can even export to an LE format. It's called GMF (old name) in UU3D but you can use it and rename the extension to .mdl and it'll work. Or you can export to fbx with it.

Thanks a lot Rick, fortunately I already own UU3D,

If you want to batch convert multiple FBX files to Leadwerk's MDL format, you can create a simple MSDOS commandline batch file (.bat), such as:

 

for %%X in (*.fbx) do fbx2mdl.exe "%%X"

 

Of course, your DirectX files need to be in FBX format first.
