I'm still pretty new to programming and I've just used dbc for everthing so far, but now I want to make some origninal charters and objects for my game. This is my first attempt at modeling. When I export from 3d canvas it is .pov format I think and DBC says it only accepts .x format files. Can I make them with 3d canvas or do I have to purchase gamespace. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it. Thanks

DBC can only accept .3DS and .x formats but there is probably a tool somewhere to convert what you export

The happenings of tommorow are behind us now

Thanks everyone for the help. I managed to get dele d up and running might try milkshake too. However bibz1st you mentioned that I could export .x files from 3d canvas. My version is the freeware one I downloaded from the site. Can I export .x with that or do I need 3d canvas pro. If I can do it with freeware, please tell me how.

Thanks
