I want to give up .x format.use a myself or other file format, any links about it are welcome.

There's nothing to it really. You could have a look on Wotsit.org for a list of 3D model formats to get a rough idea, but it's generally pretty simple.
You just need a format that lets you store vertices and commands, or vertices and indices, and possibly textures and other information.
The MD2 format is nice, I wrote a loader for that in a couple of hours. It's so simple because all the data is just one huge triangle list. You need to do a little bit of editing though, since it's designed for OpenGL. Namely, you need to swap the Z axis and the winding order of the triangles.

do you mean load mesh, texture ,material and relation between them? and the animation data :matrix list and relation between matrix and vertex?
