Basically I've never loaded/played a .x animation before.
I'm wondering if someone can give me a simple explanation as to how this works. I'm working from the code below.
I'd appreciate if someone could give me a pointer on what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Notes:
- I am exporting from 3ds max 2010 via Panda Exporter.
- The object has 10 frames of animation and plays/loops fine in 3ds.

Thanks again.
I'm looking for the true nature of things. But I'm not cynical at all. Or sarcastic for that matter. Now tell me: where is the irony here?
