Default 3d Modeling?

http://www.unwrap3d.com/index.html

Found this site while trolling around the net today...it looked interesting. I'm not a modeler by any means, so check it out and tell me what you think.

Seems interesting... and only for 39$.
I wonder if it exports under a format compatible with SE V...

Exports / imports Microsoft DirectX (*.X) I think it's the right format, isn't it ?

That is correct.

That is essentially an updated Version of lithunwrap, which you can get for free. Its not a modeler, just a texturer.

If you want free modeler, you want something like Wings ( http://www.wings3d.com/ ) or Blender.

What diferences do you make between a modeler and a texturer ?

This wings software seems very interesting too, but it doesn't export in .x format...

A modeler makes 3D objects; a texturer applies textures to them. A modeler sometimes includes the functionality of a texturer as well.

BTW, Wings may not export .X, but it DOES export .3ds, which is easily convertible to .X - that is if you don't mind downloading the entire 200MB DirectX SDK to get at the one tiny program you need...

Wings can easily be converted to .x even without the SDK. Use Lithunwrap- its much smaller. http://files.seriouszone.com/download.php?fileid=198

Hey, there's a new Version of K3D out!
http://k3d.sourceforge.net
Only available as source right now and it might not run on Windows but we'll just have to see...
