Version 2.0.0 is now available!

Fixed:
-bone orientations where getting mixed up on certain bones that where at odd angles to
thier parent.
-animated meshes no longer need an additional _usm.x file to retrieve bone data.

Notes:
-see readme.txt for usage instructions.
-XFile should be in Text format NOT Binary.
-each mesh must have it's own uvmap and surface.
-meshes with different surfaces will become subparts of the same mesh.
-in lightwave if using skelegons, give the skelegons the same surface as one of the parts of the mesh.

For exporting from other modelling applications see below...

all the available exporters can be found here
(note: I was unable to get the lightwave plugin to work correctly)

the tested plugins can be found below:

3dsMax

I thank you greatly for creating this tool. It works for my static models perfectly and is precisely what we needed. However, for my model with >50 animations and >100 materials, it fails every time. Is there any chance this is something that could be fixed? PLEASE!!

Hi Tensor, No problem gald it's helpful.

did this happen with the latest version 2.0 of the converter.

if so could you please send me the mesh you are trying to convert(I will delete after testing).

It could be a limitation of Assimp and 3impact which are used to gather the mesh and animation data from the xfiles.

I have never tried converting that many materials. but if the mesh is loading in ok it may be an issue with the bones, or some part of the mesh isn't weight mapped or missing a uv applied, could be a few things.

I recently did an experiment where the bones where done a funny way and each bone had no parent and assimp outputted some weird bone id

like 34935327, so setting these weird outputs to -1 got it working. that might be what is happening not sure without looking at the files myself.

so send me an email with the xfiles and I'll see what i can do.

Just wondering if there is any way I can convert a batch of X files, all existing in one folder?
I have a few hundred x meshes, and its real pain to convert one-by-one!

Hi Allan,

will make a separate .x to md5 converter today for batch processing of a folder.

Thanks.

Thanks for that, Dave.
The only bummer now is that all my .x files are binary, and your tool only works with text. Is there a way you can check each file in the conversion process to see whether it is binary or text, and if binary then change it to text prior to converting ?

unfortunately no Allan, sorry, but at least we have a batch converter.
