[DIY] How to see .X-files!

Post by sharky »

Hi guys!

the X files are direct-x files. for them you need direct x SDK. it can be downloaded freely from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en

once you have installed it open the directx-viewer!

and load into it the X-file!
X-files can easily found over the web! here is one:

right click ---> save as


have fun! should be 3D!!

bye

It does not work with the directx viewer from the directx sdk of february 2007. I got it working with this sdk by changing

Code: Select all

        VertexShader = compile vs_1_1 VSStandard();
        PixelShader  = compile ps_1_1 PS(); 
to

Code: Select all

        VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 VSStandard();
        PixelShader  = compile ps_2_0 PS(); 
in the file Default9.fx and recompiling.

It compiled fine with visual studio 2005 express (free). You need to turn manifest generation to yes and embed manifest to yes. You also need to add d3dx10.dll to "Delay loaded DLLS" in the linker options.

It might be simpler for most people to download an older version of the SDK to get a viewer that works without recompiling.


To get stereo working, you have to switch to fullscreen by using ALT-ENTER. It works if you choose "Enabled" in the "Stereo Enable Mode" of the NVIDIA drivers. It does not work for me with "Enabled by Hot Key".

wow you seem to be an expert! :)

i used sdk of april. worked good for me. i could get the image in 3D in windowed mode with the iz3D.

i made the x-file with a special engineering software. i used yesterday for the first time in my life a x-file that way.. :)

but its crazy!

i also was able to get 3D-PDF in 3d windowed but without convergence.
