Hello,

I Have been making a few models and exporting them from 3ds max 9 to 3ds file format. Is there any way to convert a 3ds file into a b3d file type model? Can doing this increase performance of a game?

Thanks,
Austin H.

Look in 'specs and utils'.

It will have no effect on performance...a mesh is a mesh..except for an md2....

3ds is a rubbish format though to use in blitz3d...lacks a lot of features.

Regarding converting - ultimate unwrap, milkshape and plenty of other tools can be used to convert a mesh.

It can decrease the performance, as .b3d meshes can use boned animation, which is pretty slow. If your using static meshes, there's no difference.
