Advanced Member kenmo Posted January 20, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 It would be nice if 3DC had the ability to import Wings3D native files... Is there any possibility this will happen in the near future? Thanks kindly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wings is my favorite daily editor and i use OBJ files to exchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member ggaliens Posted January 20, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Kenmo ... As you know ... I use Wings3D a lot ... But I would not really want Andrew to write a parser for Wings3D format. It's too easy just to pick a model and export to OBJ. Andrew has something fantastic going here with 3DCoat and we gotta afford him the time to do DEEP exploration of new stuff like VOXEL sculpt w/o having to attend to somewhat trivial details like handling trillions of file formats. File formats is a NO-WIN situation if you start handling lots ... the end will never be in sight. Peope will just expect more and more formats.

Once Wings3D file format is added someone else will want Blender, Vue or Cinema4D.... So I agree his fine efforts would be better used in other directions....
