i have got a human model prepared in 3d studio max.How do i import this object into my Vb application?also how do i rotate,move,make the model bend as shown in any cartoon.now suppose if the model is supposed to wear a shirt and trouser how do i make the application do so... please help i am desperate.
You will have to learn Direct3D. Unfortunatly, this will take you a while. The movement is even more advanced.
If you wanted the put clothes on the model, you would have to do it with 3D Studio.

What, you mean a super model? A female one? :D
Ok, if you go to http://www.planet-source-code.com you'll find a lot of Lander games, one of them has a window where you see and rotate a model of a planet... all you have to do is use the human model instead :)
Not specifically Direct3D (which doesn't exist as that name anymore). You can use OpenGL as well, which is actually a better API but don't tell anyone...Quote:

...especially since people stopped doing drivers for XP :confused:
Why they'd stop supporting superior products is beyond me.
Maybe because it's not superior?... :D
OpenGL isnt better. The only real difference is the interface. OGL is function based, while D3D (it is D3D, whatever you want to call it =) is Object based. OpenGL also has extensions, which are ablessing and a curse. They allow you to get the highest performance possible from a card, but your code will only work on that card. D3D Abstracts thata way, so you can get only slightly less power from a broader range of cards.
OGL is also Portable, but we are talking VB here...

Yeah, but for some reason I don't like 3D games hehe, they're so primitive :D I prefer good old DDraw :p
Do all the animation in 3D max , what u want to wear the colth etc. and record it
then save ir as avi or mpeg and on vb form place it and code it for automatic play...
and the secound option is............
In vb click on project >> components >> choose the Insertable object and than click on 3d max
the object icon comes in toolbar then place it on form and try it...
sandin :)
But Jotaf... I can get oh so many more particles running at once, and have them look good =).

Does D3D work on an SGI workstation? I think not ;)Quote:

Last line, parksie =).

Doesn't matter what the language is, you should still prepare for when you mature and move away from VB :pQuote:

Of course =).

Zaei: That's because I'm using 9 Set/GetPixel calls for each particle :p
Parksie: Why would you wanna code in some other language? :D
Because c++ is harder to read than VB :pQuote:

Not by much =). Reading C++ is sort of like breathing now =).Quote:

I agree with Zaei; C++ has come to me (I've made a Guess the Number game :D:D:D) in it's different ways and it's easy to read :)
Hehe well, I'd learn C++, but only when I need it :p
For now VB is enough ;)
You'll grow up and become a man soon, and you will leave childish things behind :)
(like pointers :p references for ever!)
Lol I almost never need that sort of stuff and when I do, I use CopyMemory :p
Btw, the "Byte Me" in your signature... that was my signature in the good old Battle.Net Starcraft Map Development Forum :D
Was it? Cool :)
Proves that fools go together ;)
(Well, I could hardly say great minds think alike could I...:p)
Hardly :D
But yeah, I think I read that in some Garfield book or something :p
