No skin or animations, though. MED would cycle through and display frame names but not changes with the model. I probably just exported something wrong somewhere along the line. http://www.fragmosoft.com/ Quote: fragMOTION is a powerful 3D modeller specifically intended for the creation and animation of characters. fragMOTION is intuitive and easy to use and contains many features that are only found in top of the line modellers. And if that's not enough for you, the event driven scripting system makes it a breeze for you to add your own features.

Haven't had a chance to try this out...but looking quick at there website I could make a good guess as to the problem with animation in your attempt: Vertices can be affected by up to 4 bones Chances are good that they wanted to show off that feature in their example models. Problem is that 3DGS only supports 1 bone per vert. Anymore on any vert and the entire animation set is scrapp (common mistake I see with Max exports)... Double check that and you might find that path working. Virtual Worlds - Rebuilding the Universe one Pixel at a Time. Take a look - daily news and weekly content updates.

I haven't heard back from him, but yes someone could always use his SDK for the same thing. Obviously there's already a path to get from point A to point B, but a direct export would be nice, too.

Darkbasic DBO format was recently added, so that's a good sign. My User Contributions master list - my initial post links are down but scroll down page to find list to active links

If anyone out there has this program, please let us know how the new exporter is. My User Contributions master list - my initial post links are down but scroll down page to find list to active links

It is able to read the weird DarkMatter animations and converts them into nice MDL7 - without the usual animation explosion (arms and legs... all in the model center and animating at a wrong position). -- slacer
