Directx Fbx Converter Blender
Chili, could I have some help please, I'm beginning to feel raw. And not in a good way. I started (8 hours) to write an importer for a collada file which I got from Blender (I tried over and over to get Sony's library to work but ended up wasting too much time). I got mine to the point where I was getting data from the float array (vertices), normal array(normals) and was all of this time using a pre-set indices array (because my game is actually full of 2D planes so the usual 0, 1, 2, 2, 1, 3 was working well). I then went to add my first 3D model and I realised there is no indices defined in the collada file? Question 1: What is THE format to export into to get into directx 11. I don't need backwards compatibility or anything, I just want the easiest most well trodden path to get a 3d scene (with animations) into my game?
Question 2: Am I missing the point with the indices list? Is it actually there in the collada file (see below a section of it) and i'm just not understanding it? I was expecting a list like. 1 -1 0 -1 -1 0 1 1 0 -1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 3 3 1 0 0 0 3 0 0 1 2 1 3 1 1.
I'm trying to convert a.fbx model to a.x for use in my DirectX 9 project. Does anyone know of any software to allow me to do this? Been googling for a few days and not really found anything tha. Enabling Import & Export of DirectX 3D Model file format.X. Blender 2.70 comes with the 'DirectX X Format' Export addon built-in. However, the 'DirectX Importer' Import addon is not built-in. If you'd like to have the ability to import.X files, you can download it in this addon bundle. (Note: that post describes.
On a side note, a while back I had come to terms with the thought I may have to make my own level builder. So I set off on a task of creating a C# webforms windows application (because visual C does not have webforms). I had gotten to the point of exporting a file in json format but then realised it was just too much of a burden to take on. Not enough time in the evenings.
I'm feeling really desperate to get this shit into my game god dammit. Any any help or guidance would be SOOO very appreciated. Last edited by on April 9th, 2014, 4:53 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Hi, I'm trying really hard to figure out some pipeline for using assets that I can buy in various 3D model stores. The problem I face is that usually the most popular formats these models come in are DirectX's.X and.FBX (sometimes.OBJ too, but here I'm talking about animted and rigged models). So far I decided to use IQM format for my game and it works nice with Blender, as long as I export it directly from Blender itself. So I can import.OBJ files without armatures/animations and export it as IQM without problem (even with animations, if I add them directly in Blender). The problem is when I buy some model from the net, and I get binary.FBX or maybe.X, sometimes separate file for animations - how people deal with this?

I have my own engine so I can't really just throw it into it and be happy, I need to load it into Blender, then export as IQM. How you usually deal with things like this? Importer in my Blender 2.76 doesn't work at all on FBX from the model I bought. I used some 3rd party addon that imports the mesh and armature correctly, but doesn't see animations. I have animations in both, FBX and.X, but Blender won't import.X files too.
There must be some way to convert animations from FBX/X into some intermediate format and then load it into Blender, or just do it directly, but I can't find any ready solution for this, and if there is anything it only works for meshes and not animations:(. Blender's.fbx importer and exporter is standard. Check that you have the right one for the blender your using, it should be included and should only be turned on. Problems that you can encounter is that.fbx animations only import leaf bones, this happens when the model wasn't exported to keep it's original bones. The deform data is there but will need you to get it yourself, it's easier to just use tracking bones to target the leaf bones.
For animations you can attempt.bvh I find it to be better than.fbx when importing animations. For any thing else the.fbx importer and exporter is the best. Don't export materials, build them in your game engine as even the best game engines can import materials wrong from a.fbx The.fbx importer changes a lot and the software using it changes constantly, so there will always be a bug or two to work with.

Thanks for all replies. Turned out that there was some problem with FBX version probably, plus that file I bought was far from well organized. I upgraded Blender to 2.77 and used this tutorial: and it finally worked, so I'm posting it, maybe it will help someone. Also had weird problem where everything imported but not the armature of a model, after long research and digging through FBX import addon (crazy code, thousands of lines) I managed to pin it down to a loose root bone that was encountered before the real armature root bone, and it caused only that one wrong armature to be imported to Blender. I skipped the bad one by dirty hack in addon code and suddenly the correct armature appeard.
I filled bug and I'm waiting for some reply from addon's maintainer so hopefully this will be resolved for all cases.
