what app uses an .x file? in can import .xsi .obj and some other ones.

i´m asking because there exists an awesome export plugin for cinema4D and if xsi was able to import *.x files then creating models in my favorite app cinema4D would be possible.

dont think it can impot .x files, find a .xsi (dot xsi is what the format is called by softimage) for c4d. U can import that. .xsi works with nurbs, bones and all u need, dunno about animations thuogh.

c4d can export:
obj
vrml 1+2
quickdraw
3ds
dxf

can one of these formats be used?

*.x is a direct-x format.

Not meaning to piggy back but how are you managing to import files into the mod tool? I try to import an obj file and all that happens is I get a message in the bottom left corner saying "Function not implemented".
