DirectX Exporter
Alin's DirectX Exporter
AXE is a 3ds Max plugin allowing you to export your 3ds Max scenes as DirectX (.x) files which can be used in development
of games, simulations, and real-time applications. It supports standard and multi-subobject or DirectX shader materials, editable patch, editable mesh
or editable poly geometry, skin and physique modifiers.
The latest release can even convert a standard material with multiple UV coordinates to a DirectX material(.fx) and generate shader code
such as tangent-space normal mapping. Developers now have a tool that enables them to create amazing real-time special effects quickly
and no longer depend on external applications to get the effects they want. Download it now !
