Hello!

So, I looked around and can`t find a program that could animate my objects. I am using AC3D, but it doesn`t support animation. I have looked at Lightning Limbs, but eventhough I like it, I need something more professional.

Can anyone recommend anything?

Truespace 3.2 . Also free but came out back in 1998 I think, but has alot of features. The roundness of the objects arent that smooth.

Ah, yes, TrueSpace... I tried that and I think I will need years to learn how to make a cube. Thanks though, I will still be trying!

Blender IS good, but I can`t get the hang of it... It is too hard for me...

I will look at Character FX.

Thanks guys!

I had some good luck with milkshape at one point. It isn't free, but cheap as I recall. It had some pretty good animation capabilities. There is a 30 day trial on their website.

Ever notice how in Microsoft word, the word "microsoft" is auto corrected to be "Microsoft" but "macintosh" just gets the dumb red underline?

If you export a 3ds. file in truespace and impot it in to character fx it will have a loading problem and I can animate in truespace but cant run it in darkbasic so if you have any luch running a truespace animation in DarkBASIC can you post how you did it.

In truespace I think the type of animation to use for DBC is Hierarchical . It may also be called articulated structure animation.

Enjoy your day.
