Gmax converting to X

January 30, 2008 10:51:17 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I'm working on the models for my new mod "The Bringers of Light" and i started with
3DS Max but my trial version ran out and i was forced to revert back to Gmax. I was wondering, does anyone know of a way to convert the gmax files to .X files? or does anyone know of a way to import the Gmax files to Blender (which i dont know how to use) so i can export it from there? please help me, i dont want to have spent all of this time in vain. Also, does anyone know of a converter for converting the gmax files to something that can be converted to a .X file?

Gmax is designed to export directly to games with custom formats, as such it's dependent on dev-made plugins just for that. There's no .x exporter that I'm aware of, since that would make it much more useful and fewer people would need to buy 3dsm.
