Hey Everyone,

I'm new to this place and I need some help. I have a pretty good grasp on how to load 3d objects into db and placing them but I am having problems with their animations. My models seem to crumple up or fly apart. I have tried bones and poly animation both exporting them with pandax and the .x converter in the db tools file. I tried different settings on the pandaxporter including ones from a tutorial, the parts and bones move but it seems that my pivot points are ending up in all the wrong places. If anyone can give me a few pointers or tell me if I'm missing something it would help a lot Thanks!

make sure EVERY vertex in your model is assigned to a bone.

Of course, if you're using patch 5.2 for DBP, there is a VERY nasty bug that will trash any .X model that uses quad polys. I have not tried animation with .X models and 5.2, so I do not know if there is a problem there or not.

i don't think that's the problem, because killpoly mentioned that loading/placing models works... if it was the quadpoly problem, I think just by loading the model, it would freak out...

No its when you dec your frames to -numbers your animation keeps going
try this

if frame<=0 then frame=0

its because if you inc it to a high the frames thay wont do that only if you dec it to -numbers.

I dont know how to spell
