How to create .X ???

[stoggers]

Hi,

How do you edit & create a .x file?

Simple question but I am at a loss as most of the graphics packages that I have looked at do not mention this format.

Thx

Mike.

You probably won't find many graphic packages that create X files. Generally, you create a 3D Studio .3DS file, or some other widely used 3D modeling format, and convert it to an X file. Here are some links for converters:

The DirectX SDK includes a command line converter from .3ds 'conv3ds.exe' (which is an export option in most packages, even MilkShape).

Good luck
