hmm, had the same problem, i created a water plane in 3dsmax and animated the wavey and rippling fx, after exporting the object with the animations into both .3ds and .x formats and loading them into dark basic, none of them moved when i animated it, i guess animation in dark basic refers to individual object movement rather than object vertices/faces ect movements. I think dark basic pro can do it though! I gues viewing your animated object on a 3d explorations program would have the same effect.

Ya i had the same problem..in fact i used like 10 other convertors and still ran into the same problem. I have a way you can use your 3ds file without having to convert it to x and it still works just as good..

if you have any problems figuring out how to animate the model just post and ill help ya.. also after you do the maxscript part on here..and it exports the frames.. you might wanna load each frame up and delete the bones cause they have a habit of popping out of the model in DB

if god = infinity and infinity = 0 then god = 0

Yeah, but infinity isn't 0, is it? It's a bit bigger than that.

I'm pretty sure that DB will only accept transitions/translations (can't remember the actual term) from 3ds Max. I.e. if you rotate, move or scale the object during the animation. Any such modifers you apply which may affect the numer of polygons will not carry over to DB....I think. Is just like bones...they don't seem to port over when you animate a model using bones instead of moving each limb separately.......but I'm using DB 1.13 so could be different with Pro?

DB is definately different to DBPRO. I'm not sure about PRO because I don't use it, but there's no way you can get a mesh deformations animted in other porgrams working in DB 1.13, so for water and the like you'd be better off making a matrix and animating the points in DB. But again it could be possible in pro.
Sorry if you all already know this.

I had a vague idea after wasting several hours trying!

.3DS was a format for the old 3D Studio 4.0 under dos as far as I remember. And since the old 3d studio under dos did not have anything similar to space warps or modifiers i suppose they simply dont save this data.
