A new plugin to export your Layout Scene directly to an optimized .X file. It preserves smoothing, UV's, and even copies the needed textures to the same folder with your output .X file.

The output .x files are in the 8.1 format.

This tool plugs right into Layout and is not an external converter.


A conversion example
----

(Object in Layout)


(Object Exported to .X and opened in another application)


----

It is available from our website:
http://www.nuclearglory.com/lw2dx.php

And also visible on the home page:
http://www.nuclearglory.com

Any questions feel free to ask.


(At the time of this post I am about to move and will be unplugged for a bit. I will catch up and respond to any questions once I get my connection back.)

Although I'm not a Lightwave user, this is definitly a tool I like to see. The more converters for DBP, the better the language gets.

Another excellent tool from nuclear glory as always.

Thanks yellow

I'm particularly interested in adding bone-animation support to this plugin. Then people could get their anims into .X format without having a meltdown. Not sure how long that will actually take.

(moving plans were set back so I'll be around for another day)

Give this one a try my friends.

It has been completely rebuilt from top to bottom. I converted some of the car models that come with LightWave with great success (like the T-Bird).

This one also sports skeletal animation for your objects! A bone animation scene is now included in the package.

Download the demo and give it a whirl:

Let me know how it goes.

We'll be releasing a patch update to all buyers sometime soon. There are a few issues people discovered that are being cleaned up.

Also, with this patch, we'll be releasing a model viewer that people can use to view/play the exported models. This became a common request quickly.

The model viewer will also be released separately as a free tool on our website. It will support the .X format (maybe more later on).
