This enables you to open OBJ, 3DS or Google Warehouse SKP files and bring them into iClone.</P><P>To make use of any .X models will require that they be converted first to one of the accepted formats and then brought into iClone using one of the methods above.</P><P>There are numerous 3D modellers out there that will allow conversion of models including <A href="http://www.blender.org/">Blender</A> which is free. I'm not sure if that converts .X models though.</P><P>It is also worth remembering that custom characters can be created within iClone without the need for any 3rd party products. Just a little creativity required. ;)Tue, 01 Jul 2008 11:58:04 GMTPeter Edwardshttp://forum.reallusion.com/Topic5405-5-1.aspxWhat are .x files?Developer info can be found here.http://developer.reallusion.com/docs_ic.aspxGenerally Character imports must go through a conversion process in 3ds max and exported as .vns files via the iclone max plug-in. Practically, if you are talking about characters which have all the functionality of Iclone characters - your imports must be built, rigged, and skined in a specific way to work properly.Starting from an export of your character as a low poly mesh with textures, which you import into max and re-rig is probably the best option.JPTue, 01 Jul 2008 11:47:03 GMTjpiazzo_20090922180848311http://forum.reallusion.com/Topic5405-5-1.aspxHi, is it possible to import .X files as characters in iClone.Or..
