Hi all,

Given a .x 3d models, how could we load it into blender to save as .blend file so that .blend 3d models play the same animation as .x models?
Any video tutorial?

Thanks in advance

Import for DirectX models was removed for Blender 2.5-2.6 so...

Blender 2.49b
File-->Import DirectX (.X)
Find the file and import it.
File--> Save
Name your file and save it as .blend

Hi ardee,

Thanks for your reply.

I also downloaded this version, but when I imported .x models, the texture are removed.Also, it seesms the animation was removed too.

Is this normal?

Just reattach the image to the model in the UV Image editor, the UV co-ords should be fine.

As for animation make sure the models are in DirectX 8.0 format. Worked fine for me with old models I had from FPS Creator. You may have to run them through Ultimate Unwrap to get them into DirectX 8.0 first.
