blender and .X

I have created some models in Blender and was wondering how to set the coords and render them in DX. I am using C#.

I'm not sure what you're asking for here? Are you wondering how to export from Blender to .x, how to load the .x into D3DX for rendering, or something else?

I believe there is an exporter for Blender that will export .X files. I don't use Blender, but this thread mentions using one of the X-File exporters.

I'd recommend exporting something from blender with the above exporter and loading the resulting X-file into dxviewer as a simple test. The source code to DXViewer ships in the latest DXSDK so that can give you an idea of how we load X-files.

There is a new script out there for Blender that is suppose to fix DX export issues here: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/glabro1/python236.html . Now when you use the export to DX8 it will be formatted correctly. Another issue I found was object naming in Blender is not compatible with DirectX. Blender names successive objects with dot delimeters: Ex cylinder.001, cylinder.002 . You have to change those dots to underscores and you should be able to use the mesh in your app or at a minimum, view it in the DX Viewer.
