I have began working on a project that requires 'exporters' to export meshes. Like XExporter.dll and DTSExporter.dll but for other formats.
Can anyone here enlighten me of some other export tools for Dark Basic Professional? *Preferably free*

mrHandy, I think you may have misunderstood what I was asking. I am making a model converter not trying to export my own files.

@DarkDISCUSSION
If you have any knowledge or have any friends with some knowledge of C and C++ , you should be able to adapt the Assimp API to be a universal importer/exporter for DBPro.

Get it Here:

Assimp

Enjoy your day.

I know very little but do know how to use the GDK for simple tasks.

and i know how to

that is all
C++ is a pain in my hindquarters. I suppose that I could try but where would I start? What do I need to know?

I understood. Gile[s] can work as converter easily, 3ds max with some shaman dancing.

WAIT! I get it.

What is your input format and what do you want on output?

Input formats are X, 3DS, DBO. Output is only DBO at this time.
I need to add export support for X, 3DS, B3D, DBO, OBJ, and maybe MD2?
