I am not sure what u mean byt that modelfile$, if the above doesn't work, just put the model into same directory and put

LOAD OBJECT "akiko.3ds", 1

cheers.

Here's my model viewing code:



Assuming you are loading the model from the right place, and that the model is scaled properly (remove the ` on the scale line to scale the object, and also change the values to see the effect) this should load a model and allow you to rotate round it using the mouse. Also the matrix provides a handy scale guide as well.

You don't need show object, when objects are first loaded they should be visible by default. Maybe you need some sync commands, to update the screen and see the model. Maybe you need to position the object and camera so you can see the object. Maybe you need to scale the object so it is big enough to be seen.

In other words, if you're just loading the object, chances are, your camera is inside the model, and therefore, you won't be able to see it. Try putting



in your code, and you should be able to see it ... i think ...

P.S. This is what the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

um, that's why we have autocam on...

It automatically positions your camera to see the object, unless it's huge, or wasn't modelled at 0,0,0 position.

Autocam ... hmmm, i'll have to look into that, lol. I believe my code since Hello World has had Autocam Off, and now I know why

For your small model, try scaling it. If you have UV mapped the model, bring the bmp's into your project folder and just load them into your game and texture object.

In my code there is a line:

`scale object 1,1000,1000,1000

remove the ` from the line to activate the command, which will make your object 10 times bigger. You can also change the values from 1000 to anything you want, so long as you bear in mind 100 is the default size that it loads at. Putting 10 in each bit will make it 10 times smaller, and putting different values in each will scale it differently in different dimensions, try it to see.

PirateSS, tell me what in my post was complicated?

I suspect that was a joke

Just an explanation of the numbers in Darths last post - the 1000 is specifying a percentage, so 100 is normal size, 1000 is 10 times bigger, 50 would be half the size etc.

Cant really do much about making it look better- did you model it- if not, where did you DL it from?

To make it move, look into the MOVEMENT tuts in the tutorials that came with DB.

My models always load dark in DBPro (hence 'dark', lol). I find a way that works is to load the texture separately as a bitmap and then texture the object at run-time.

Making the object move is the easy part! Or, the hard part depending on what you want to do with it. Have a quick look in the help for the following commands: MOVE OBJECT, POSITION OBJECT, ROTATE OBJECT, YROTATE OBJECT, PLAY OBJECT, LOOP OBJECT. Start by rotating the object with YROTATE OBJECT, and moving it with MOVE OBJECT. Then you might try putting NEWXVALUE and NEWZVALUE (look in the help) into variables, and using these variables to position the object, using POSITION OBJECT.

The caps aren't meant to be loud, it's just so you can tell which bits I typed are actual valid commands.

Jus' wonderin' why the "Set Display Mode" is on 800,600,0? Isn't suppose to be something like 800,600,16? or 800,600,8? And why do you have to write there "Show object 1" while you didn't hid it?

Hey,
RisTar, you need to go and jess read the tutorials man, no offence, but to be a good programmer you're going to have to work at it, i know i'm not concidered a good programmer, but i'm a moderate one, and you jess have to practice practice practice...that's the only way...
