Re: 2000 textures for 3D objects

Hi, Dan: You don't really need to open the .x file. I never open it. Place it in a folder with the .tga textures that were used to map the 3D object. Next, launch Links Extender, select 3D Objects, click Convert X File and Links Extender will generate two files: .xyz and .map. You need a third file:...

Regards.
