		Is it possible to convert animated .w3d files to other file formats easily? 
 
Ideally, .x format. 
 
For static objects, is it possible to easily convert them to .x, .obj, .3ds or any other format that's commonly used?

So you can't even open the w3d file in say GMAX or something, and then export it so another program can open it? Darn! 
 
Thank you for the reply.

This allows him to do just that. 
 
Animations is just not possible atm as the W3D importer does not work with animated W3Ds yet.

Ummm, I can confirm that the importer DOES do animations. What I cant gaurantee is that it will import every single animation correctly (hence my request for files where it does not import the animation correctly)
