When exporting X models from CharacterFX for use in
DarkBASIC Professional, we recommend using DirectX 8
text format, with "Output Templates" checked.
DarkBASIC Professional has a powerful command set
making it very easy to use animated 3D models.
This program loads an animated 3D model, and uses the
default animation looping built into DarkBASIC
Professional. For full animation frame control,
DarkBASIC Professional provides additional commands,
including:
IntegerValue = TOTAL OBJECT FRAMES(Object Number)
SET OBJECT FRAME Object Number, Frame
IntegerValue = OBJECT FRAME(Object Number)
For more information, check out the demonstration
programs at www.realgametools.com.
