What I Did Today

I exported several ship models, who's average Polygon count is around 10,000, burned them to disk and headed out the door.

I discovered a few days ago that I cannot import any of my ship models into Blender, or Maya. So those programs are out.

Very strange.
You can export your model as a 3DFACE DXF file (or POLYLINE DXF, but first one works better). Then fire up Blender and import this DXF (File->Import->DXF...)
It works fine. And btw Blender can export to .X format (at least to dx8).
See this screenshot and this screenshot

Well I cannot get it to work at all. I gave up on it.

I've gotten DXF files out of Doga into Amapi, Blender, and others, Try Crossroads3d:

EDIT, The crossroads 3D site is down.... google for it maybe. If I can find it I'll send it to you, it was a freeware.

Does it look as intended?
[cleanup]
Make sure you have latest Version of Blender installed (2.36). Also you might need to instal Python 2.34 (python.org)

[Atrocities]

That does not look right. Nope, not right at all.
Will install latest Version again.

[Atrocities]

Nope, didn't make a differance.

[Aiken]

And how it should look?
Was it exported as a 3DFACE DXF. Cause I had 1 error on opening your file.

This is why we need the DOGA file..

[Atrocities]

Here is the 9472 Battleship image in DOGA format with the textures I used.

After hours of working, my friend was able to get it into 3dmax, as a vrml file. Of course it looks like crap though. But at least its imported.

I have to find the direct3d import module for 3ds Max.
