| Only a quick report, I mailed with Brad last day about a few problems I had while using the xsi importer and asked him about collada, too. We have been looking at Collada for some time, and are waiting for a release of a library specifically for making import/export easy to handle. Sounds like great news to me. |

| What is Ultimate3D? A 3D module for BMX? Is it cross-plattform? Any links? |
| ||
| Yeah. I have been a happy Ultimate Unwrap customer for the last several years.(back when it was called lithunwrap!) Brad Bolthouse is very responsive to questions. www.unwrap3d.com It is a UV mapping tool. Very intuitive and easy to use. You can also export a boned/animated biped (or anyboned mesh with a skin modifier) from 3DS Max to UNRAP and then subsequently save a .b3d file. it loads and saves a ton of file formats (including .B3d) it supports 2 UVsets, animations, etc. |

| Appearently Feeling software make one. depends on what they mean with a ...very attractive price.... Xsi and Autodesk are of a different caliber. I'll send him an email, but I'm sure he knows about Feeling Software. |

| Oh, you mean Unwrap3D -.-" |
| ||
| Oh! yes indeed, how could I, why did I..????!! is there any way to edit the topic title ;) how embarrassing ... it was late... I had to much tea... what ever... |
| ||
| Weird thing is. I read it as Unwrap3d. And even when I read your fist post didnt see the difference, still saw it as unwrap |
| ||
| Maybe its because the products real and complete name is Ultimate Unwrap3D and it's the ultimate little piece of sw every 3d artist will need before long :) So ultimately..... |
| ||
| Who needs UU3D? Wings3D, AC3D, XSI - isn't that enough for unwrapping and texturing? -.-" |
| ||
| depends on what they mean with a ...very attractive price.... Xsi and Autodesk are of a different caliber. I don't think prices get more attractive than 'free'. |
| ||
| lol |
| ||
| Who needs UU3D? All major 3d packages have UV unrapper functionality. some better than others. UV unrapping is hard to get right. UU3D makes the job a bit easier in my opinion. It is also a great file format converter. (supports FBX, has 3DS MAX exporter plugins, etc) and as i mentioned earlier, has the best .b3d export capability i have seen (you can edit all texture and brush properties in the export dialog as well as designate a lightmap) |

| I don't think prices get more attractive than 'free'. only free for non-commercial. If you want the source code it is not free anymore. That's how I understood it, but anyway, I mailed it to him. At present he is trying to improve the xsi plugin. Unfortunately xsi isn't exporting the bind pose when using dotxsi export, like the x format does. |
