Ok. I'm trying to load a spaceship into a short program, and when the program starts, the ship shows up as a jumbled mess of polygons. WHAT'S WRONG?!!!!!!!

What happens if you move the camera further away from the ship? If this doesn't fix it ... what program was the model made in? Is the model fully triangulated?

They used to, but I don't know about the 5.4 and 5.5 patches. I haven't tested it since 5.2

K. I got it all triangulated. Oh, I didn't say before, but it was made in GameSpace, and even far away nothing changes.

As you might of figured out, it's still not working. It's still returning a mangled mesh.

I don't get what's wrong.

Still no luck with the ship. I've tried saving it in all the formats acceptable.

What is this patch for GameSpace (keeping in mind I have the full version)?

Nope. They said I purchased it after June, so the patch is already included.

Huh. Try opening the model in a program other than DarkBASIC or Gamespace.

Well, I tried opening it in anim8or. It wouldn't even open the .x version, and the .md3 (or whatever) showed up REALLY SMALL.

Could you zoom in? And was it in the correct version? Also, are you using DBP or DBC?

Try this software. Almost all 3D formats open with this 1.

Hehe, the link didn't work.

But that's not my problem though. I need the model to open in DarkBASIC.
