ok ive got unwrap3d so i can convert X/3DS files to the B3D format

the problem is this when i load a X/3DS file into unwrap3d and play the animation the character splits up!!!
the bones animate ok but the mesh of the character does'nt

so when i save it as a B3D file and load it into my game it still splits up

any help!!!

Thanks

3DS and DX8 models can't retain bones in Blitz. The only skinned, boned animation format in Blitz3D is B3D. (You can load heirarchical DX7 models, however.)

I can only sympathize with you about the B3D files, though. I've tried converting DX8 models to B3D using Unwrap3D and loading them in Blitz literally shuts my computer down. Something's wrong with my drivers or something.

Have you tried contacting Brad about your problems? I convert skeletal animated X models all the time using Ultimate Unwrap.

i havent tried to contact brad yet

i think the problem might be that its an old model maybe
DX6-Dx7 i could be wrong tho
im going to download Deep Exploration and load it up into that and save it out as a DX8 model then back into Unwrap 3D and see if that works


Thanks
