is there a way to convert k3d files?

[Black_Heart]

sorry i didnt know where to post this... but ive been playing around with k3d and i was wondering if there was a program out there that could convert the .k3d files to other formats?

[jeffus_il]

It's a binary file, which K3B won't export, what to you need to do it for?

Did you mean k3b or k3d?

i mean K3d but ive been looking around at other posts and have seen k3b but i dont know what it is. is it a updated version of k3d or something? im kinda new at the 3d modeling thing.

K3B is a KDE CD/DVD burning application, while K3D is a Gnome 3D mesh modeller..

oh ok... well, i was trying to find out if i could open the k3d models with another program, so i could use them for modding games and things like that. I mean, if the files arent supported by anything other than k3d, i might as well dl a trial of 3ds max or something

I'm pretty sure that K-3D should be able to save in at least couple of different file formats, and probably you can get support for even more by installing some plugins.

cool cool. is there any more plugins other than listed on their website?

Sorry, I have no idea, I haven't used K-3D that much. After 10 years of 3DS MAX I'm having some troubles moving to other programs :D

You could also try Blender, it's absolutely amazing if only you can learn to live with it's user interface.. And of course Maya has a Linux version as well..
