It is possible. Export it as a 3DS file and you can load it as an object in DBC.

I don't think that the 3DS files work in DB from Anim8or. I use Anim8or for modelling. To get it to work in DB I convert the 3DS files to X files using Lithunwrap. Anyway you need Lithunwrap to make the UV textures. So in the end the models do work for levels, but not for 3D model animations.

So its not the ideal tool to use! Does anybody have any suggestions on free tools except blender, milkshape ect as I find then to hard to use, something simple and programmer friendly so I don’t need to study loads of tutorials do a basic task.
Thank you for your help so far.

I used anim8or for my levels + models in Dog Fighters 2(star fox type game) + Armoured dragon(3d Shooter) + FS: Para Troopers(2d Game) and so forth.

I will say this now and let it be known, anything is possible it all comes down to your own skill level. If you keep practising you might get good...

I'm certain it does. I used it a long time, until I purchased Milkshape.

Yeah I think up to version 7 they worked, but from 8 onwards the 3DS file must contain some new information, because I can't get it to work anymore.
