xml to 3ds - 3ds to xml // i'm Willing to pay!

[elrodo]

Hello there.
You should know by now how desperate i am. xD

So, here we go.
I'm willing to pay (a reasonable fee) for someone who teaches me how to transform/convert import/export:
XML files FROM SECONDLIFE or Opensim based TO 3dStudio.
and 3ds files to xml - secondlife compatible from already created meshes.
NOT sculpties. Just object/meshes files.

I tried Ogre.
Primcomposer, etc etc.
But no luck so far.

So, please allow me to post this thread.

Please drop some light here.

thanks in advance

Hi Elrodo.

You don't need to pay anything

If you don't have a product such as 3Ds Max or Maya i would suggest use a demo.

Find a plug in for Max that would export from Max to XML.

And there you go.

Just a quick search on Google gave me this :

Search for something like:3ds max to xml

I'm sure you'll figure out the rest. Whenever in doubt just post it here.

Hello there Fgcity.
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I do have maya, 3dstudio '09, etc

The thing is, that xml-secondlife compatible files are different than regular xml files. Or .obj, etc.
So that's why i was thinking on getting a smart guy who may be able to export meshes to xml-secondlife compatible files. Or something like that

The main idea is to transform an already created in 3dsmax mesh to secondlife. And viceversa.

That's why i was thinking that rewarding this task could make someone to investigate and teaches me how to do it.

Once again, thanks for you reply.
I hope that a "converter master" shows up

thanks

Well if that's the case i'm sorry. I'm sure that someone could write a script in 3ds Max to do this but unfortunately that wouldn't be me

You might try heading over to the oFusion forum and asking the creator of oFusion about writing the script exporter for max, he hangs around there and answers questions about oFusion very quickly. Maybe he can help you, but I'm not really sure what you're going for. The XML files for second life contain complete information for a mesh (all the vertices etc) and not just position/rotation/filename...?

Well, he did make an exporter that exports .mesh files from 3d studio so maybe he knows how to do that too.

Lioric the Ofusion Author mentioned recently that he will soon be releasing ao optional all inclusive scene format that contains scene and mesh data in a single file.

Currently there are XML scene loading and saving, Binary loading, and XML to Binary scene conversion.

For converting formats between different games, I recommend Ultimate Unwrap 3D. That has excellent support for most game formats including Ogre XML meshes.

I noticed there is also Second Life .bmp import and export. I know nothing about Second Life or whether thats the format you meant.

Hi Elrodo,

First time tried some of our 3ds model to secondlife conversion and secondlife to 3ds conversion. it is working fine. But export to secondlife file format is tga. i wants to conform the secondlife file format is tga or not.

So pls send any one of your 3ds max model to my mail id (soma_til@yahoo.com)
