Creating .x objects

Downloading the AOI program is a real ***** though.... must go through several web pages to get.

Try Blender, its free, powerful, has built in texturing tools(you can use lithunwrap too if you want), a large helpful community, its easy to download, easy(but different) to use and exports to .x . Once you realize that everything you need to do can be done with hotkeys it's pretty simple.

If you're on a budget and want a fairly easy learning curve, you might want to try DoGA CGA as a designer and Metasequoia LE as the model tweaking tool.

I recently wrote up a three part tutorial that walks you through nearly everything you need to do to create models for SEV/StarFury.

Well, i'm coming from a background of using Moray, which is somewhat advanced. Doga... I've heard that its relative simplistic. I do want some good quality, but I'll look into that. Thanks.

Make sure to check out that Art of Illusion that Ekolis mentioned.

Well, my .X plugin still has some bugs to fix, at least if you want to use 3D textures... I'll have to get around to finishing those off sometime - I've fixed a few but it seems there are still more to deal with
