The object from file element will create a 3D object by reading the object definition from a file the name of which is given as the element's parameter. The file is in the DirectX format (the file suffix being *.x). The file can assume a binary or a text form, the file format was described in a simplified way when discussing the object from text element.

 

The element returns the identification number of the created object.

 

With complex objects, if service of individual objects is needed (e.g. to set their textures), then it can be converted to simple object in an editor or the searching of children function can be used.
