# Model layer

Choose Layer > Add Layer > Add Model Layer... to create a new Model layer.

After choosing this menu item, the new Model layer is visible in the Layers listbox. You can use this listbox to switch between layers.

With the model layer you can import 3D models created with 3D modelling tools like 3D Studio Max, Lightwave and Maya into BluffTitler.

### the X-files

BluffTitler can import 3D models stored in the .x format. This is the standard file format used by DirectX. For most 3D tools, plugins have been created to export to this format. The shareware Accutrans software can be used to easily convert common 3D formats to .x.

There are many sites where you can download 3D models. 3D CAD BROWSER offers all its models in the .x format. (choose DirectX ASCII (.x) from the dropdown)

Here's a little story created with two model layers and a picture layer:

### Suddenly we noticed two bright objects in the sky

On a sunny afternoon in May we were cycling along the Gein river, just outside Amsterdam when suddenly we noticed two bright objects hovering in the sky.

### We have never seen anything like this

We got off our bikes to have a better look when they started moving towards us.

### We were wondering what they were

At first we thought it was a radio controled helicopter or some other sort of hip new flying toy.

### We felt they were trying to communicate

When we continued our ride the mysterious objects kept following us. It became clear that this was not a practical joke of some local nerds. We had the feeling that they were trying to communicate.

### They were moving fast

The things could cover hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye. Then they would go up and down just as fast. The laws of inertia seem not to apply to them.

### They must have been UFOs from outer space

It was a bright, clear sky so it could not be a meteorological phenomenon. And the way they looked and moved they could not be terrestrial.
They must have come from outer space...
