kw-export also works well, but the animated meshes... sometimes it messes the animation times....

The OS (Windows7) has nothing to do with it
What version of 3DS Max are you using?

I use Panda plugin and it works for me, but not always...
depends on the animated model like Mel said, but not only the animation times, you also need to be careful about the bone heirarchy and how you handle keyframes

Thanks everyone.I'm using 3ds max 2011.I using panda soft to export x file.But irrlicht sad do not supported compressed file. How to export directx 9.0 ? please

I've found that the Panda exporter can mess up vertex ordering, and have been using kW X-port instead.

[dongvanhung]

yeah.But Can KW X-eport export to x file DX9 ???,please help me . I using 3ds max 11.Window 7

DX9 is not a file format. If you export to .X it can be displayed in DX9.

I could tell you to search the forums, but you haven't said what the problem is. So try to experiment. Export a model, import it into Irrlicht, then post what was wrong about the model. Maybe someone could help you with *that* problem, or maybe you could Google it. But you have to start with the symptom of a problem.

Irrlicht reads text and binary X files, but not compressed ones.
