If the program can export a textured and animated )according to the Microsoft SDKs) model into a direct x file, then you can run makemdl.exe on that x file.

well thank you Sam, i was just wondering if i could model with ProDesktop. I am taking a class in high school and so far i am making my teacher mad already, many times i cannot do things the exact way he wants them so i "come up" with my own way of doing things.
btw luckily my teacher is 25miles away
