I dont think the 3D Game Maker supports bone animation because if I remember correctly it was made from the same engine as DarkBASIC Classic. The only way to do it would be to make a DBC-compatible animation and then import that into 3DGM.

I would be unstoppable if I could just get started...

There are 3ds and X versions, as far as I can tell the 3ds works a lot worse... I was under the impression at least that the .x one used new boned model capbilities...

hmm, i sent an email to the Support desk

"Hi Mark,

M> i just wondered if the alienware model can be used with the 3D
M> gamemaker, i am using it with darkBASIC but my sister wanted to use
M> the model with the 3D gamemaker however when it is placed in the
M> user models folder and used in the game only its shadow appears,
M> the game is for home use only.

The model uses a different style of texturing and animation (boned
animation) than the 3D Gamemaker so this will not work directly. The
model would have to be loaded into a 3D package and edited first.

Cheers,

Rich"

he seems to think i'll be able to do it but i dont deal with the 3D models in the games i am "working on"
ah well, thanks for your help.

I loaded the 3Ds into Cinema 4D and no bone data appeared.
The IK worked though, even though there were no IK tags
It won't load the x file, musn't be able to handle the format.
