Hi everyone, i've loaded different objects into darkbasic, however their animations are very slow, it takes almost a minute for a person to take one step, does anyone know how i can get the animation speed the same as the speed in the darkmatter viewer?
thanks

You want the SET OBJECT SPEED command. I'm not sure what speed you need. You'll have to experiment, unless someone can give it to you.

Destroy you with my mind, I could!

I'd start at around 20000 for a 30 frame walk loop, I'm guessing the DM2 models all have the same massive frame band problem. Basically the models would have been animated in logical chunks, like an idle anim for the first ten frames, then the next 40 frames might be a walk loop. When loaded into DBPro however, the frames are multiplied by 200, so to do the walk loop, I'd probably use this:

LOOP OBJECT 1,10*200,39*200
SET OBJECT SPEED 1,20000

thanks for u'r help, i've got the animation running at a reasonably rate, however the loop is not smooth as it pauses and then starts again, this is exactly the same for vehicles and other person models, - i am using darkmatter 1

might try taking the last frame or the first frame out... like

because the first/last frame may be identical, so technically its showing the same frame twice
