Supporting .x format by default???

[sammypanda3d]

Hi all,

1. Is Panda3D directly support .x format without using any conversion tool (x2egg)?

Note that panda can load any of these file formats without conversion, doing so causes the conversion to occur at runtime.

panda3d.org/manual/index.php/C … er_Formats
Besides .x, does this mean lwo,dxf, flt, vrml, x could be loaded into Panda3d directly without any need of conversion?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. You can load .x files directly with the loadModel method:

myModel=loader.loadModel("model.x")

As well as for these formats, you can load these also directly:
Bam .bam
Egg .egg
MultiGen .flt
Lightwave .lwo
DXF .dxf
VRML .wrl
DirectX .x
The moment you do loadModel, Panda3D will automatically convert the format and load it like any other model file.
