Direct X 7 3D QUESTIONS?

[slashandburn]

1. How could i move a mesh around without haveing to create a frame for every mesh?

2. How DO i texture stuff?

3. How do i do lighting

4. How would i clip Exactly for games?

now thats some complicated stuff there

for questions 1 to 5

get a book

next question

seriously, get a book on the relevant topics - it will know more than any of us

BTW, hope u know your maths - u need it

1) Use the frame's set position method.
2) Use this code:
FaceArray.GetElement facearrayindex, Face
D3DRM.LoadTexture App.Path & "\texture.bmp", Texture
Face.SetTextureCoordinates 0, 0, 0
3) It would take to long to explain.
4) I do not know.
5) Use this code:
Const Sin5 = 8.715574E-02! ' Sin(5°)
Const Cos5 = 0.9961947! ' Cos(5°)
Right - Camera.SetOrientation Camera, Sin5, 0, Cos5, 0, 1, 0
Left - Camera.SetOrientation Camera, -Sin5, 0, Cos5, 0, 1, 0

If you get accounts with collegeclub and freedrive, join the collegeclub VB/DirectX Programming group. I am the host, and I make tutorials with my code. I should be finished with my first soon. The freedrive accound is how data is shared.

Hello "detailCode"

You forgot to write how to join the collegeclub.

I would consider that.
