I'm using my old version 5.0

1. Does anyone know where I can get an x conversion program that will convert LWO v5.0 to x format. I know about D-storm but I don't think their plug in works in v5.0 LW.

2. I know that when you convert to X and load object into DBP you need your textures in the same folder you export the object to. I'm guessing that means image maps. When you convert a LWO to X format does that keep any procdural textures on the object, such as crumple or fractal noise and will it hold the specularty,diffuse ETC... settings?

3. I have the pro version of 3D Canvas and it imports LWO and it exports to X can I use that to convert to X or will I loose everything? I like LW better than 3DC I think you can do more with LW especally in the texturing areas!

Thanks for any advice

I can answer your second question.

No.

It exports UVs, and the like. Procedurals aren't image maps. However they can be baked to image maps.
