DirectX

Ryan,

Not sure what you mean. DirectX isn't a 3D geometry format, It's an API
based multi media interface for Windows. One part deals with 3D graphics in
a similar way to OpenGL in as much as it provides tesselation based real
time shading. This isn't a file format, it's an attribute of a file
depending on what the application uses for rendering.

The tesselation in both OpenGL and DirectX are similar, triangles, but only
exist as a dislay list in the file.

The closest 3D file formats, to an OpenGL or DirectX display list, would be
VRML or STL.

Are you trying to create 3D objects for games ??? I think most games that
allow this accept VRML.

see 3D Object Converter (http://web.axelero.hu/karpo/ )

 

Is there any way to export SolidWorks parts and/or assemblies to DirectX
format? If not, are there any file converters out there to handle such a
task? Thank you.

also available via Blender - both import and export - you will need to
output from SW either as .vrml(.wrl) or .stl
