Does anyone know if Moray/Povray will work? I looked through the help information, but didn't see anything about .x files (Mulder and Scully weren't part of the design team for SF, were they?

)

I haven't been able to find a converter that can transfer moray/pov-ray files to .3ds or .x format...

Thanks for the info Captain Kwok. I was hoping that Moray would work, but I guess I'll have to learn how to use Anim8tor. I hope it's not too steep a learning curve...

Anim8tor is ok, but I don't think it's very powerful, but with some practice I'm sure you can produce decent to good results.

Most of the stock ships were made with 3D Studio Max. However I'm keeping my eyes open for a good dedicated .x program that can work just as well.

how about that - mail microsoft about what program is the best for .x files.

I did a little looking around on line, and discovered a program by Inivis called AC3D. Has anyone used this program? Is it any good?

Looks good. I like how it can handle POV-Ray files...so you'd be able to use a basic Moray/Pov-Ray object and then use the program to save it to .x format with any textures you want...at least I hope!
