unneeded imo, that would require alot of work with a little gain,

fbx wont directly work and will have a lot of problems and it will be very hard to fix without an editor like med.

unneeded.. if you would have the same porblems with MED´s convertings.. You wuldn´t say that

Each 3ds, or fbx has:
- inverted normals
- NO Skins/Matrrials/Textures
- Missing vertexes
- No Animation

So.. working with MED is crap.. and using 3ds/fbx from 3dsmax or C4D is not working correctly... *tried to reinstall many times Y_Y*

For me.. It´s the thing i need most!

But do you think implementing 3ds/fbx support will be any easier than fixing the bugs of the import?

a direct support in the engine would be stupid imo, but a silent import/conversion would improve the workflow. So that you can open 3ds or fbx directly and it is loaded with some default settings and if you don't like the way it's loaded (which shouldn't happen too often ofc^^), you can change it afterwards in the properties panel or so..

@Esper, i do not have such problems, you probably doing it wrong, my skins animations and normals are importing fine.

Will A8 support Euphoria?! You can search for it in youtube.

lmao... am about 99.99 percent sure it wont =)

But, still... there is a 0.01 percent of hope...

Uhmm... no.
I guess it's a 100 percent that it WONT be included:
It's expensive. It's not necessairy.
AND:
It's more complicated than the current methods, and it needs more resources, so why would they include it? Even if they would, most users wouldnt be able to handle it (me included).

Very popular game engine and games using this "expensive and complicated method":
1 - GTA IV
2 - Assassins Creed
3 - Star Wars: Force Unleashed
4 - Indiana Jones 2008 (not sure about the existing of this game)
