3DXchange
Written on February 12, 2008 by Katherine W. Prawl
One step forward, two steps back. Both iClone2 and 3DXchange are easy to use, and have lots of useful features. But their export formats are pretty limited, at least they don’t export into x3d which is what I am looking for right now. iClone2 uses 2D formats, while 3DXchange only outputs to .vns format, which is used by 3D Studio Max. Oh, goodie, yet another package to investigate. Actually, I used to have 3D Studio Max, but that was a decade ago, and I didn’t have any purpose to use it for then, so let it lapse. Now apparently it also belongs to Autodesk.
In the meantime, I did try importing a model into 3DXchange from the Google 3D Warehouse. Here’s a screenshot of the Lambourgheni I found there in the 3DXchange window.
