The camera seems to be a bit flaky. Is there a secret to making it work correctly. Right now the move and rotate camera commands return data that indicate they are working, but the view does not update...I've tried setting the current camera command, creating new cameras, etc.

did you try a sync command in your main loop.

a code snippet would tell a lot more about your methods

Yeah I got a sync command in there.

I was having trouble with varables accepting data like I thought they should. Can that interfere with the 3D? For example, I had a variable named X2# that would not take a float value...it's value was always 0. Is the "2" in that variable legal? Could I have a memory leak or something?

Thanks for any help you can offer. -Mike

Also...adding values in the X direction makes stuff "go up", and adding values values in the Z direction makes stuff "go down". I'm brand new to DBPro, but that's freaky isn't it? Shouldn't they be orthogonal to one another???

ok, the x z thing, here is a quick explanation.

Imagine that you are playing an FPS game. If you strafe to the left, you are decreasing your x value, to the right increasing your x value.
If you jump straight up in the air, you are increasing the y value, falling down decreases the y value.
now, if you are moving forwards, you are increasing your z value, backwards decreasing it.

so:
x=width
y=height
z=depth
