Debugging the Visual Studio Direct3D template for Windows Phone 8

In this video blog we talk about two powerful but overlooked features of Visual Studio 2013 that can help to speed up the DirectX development process on both Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. We will take a look at the Visual Studio 3D asset viewer and modify our 3D model directly in the viewer. We will also take a look at setting up your project to automatically modify your standard 3D mess assets to a format that is more DirectX and Direct3D friendly.
I have looked into the built in converter before but im not sure how ell animations are supported in .cmo format and i think theres a second format that a mesh file can also be converted to but i cant recall the name though i could be wrong. So does .cmo support animation very well?
great work ..
