   Direct3D and characters problem
  How do I make moving characters in directX should I make their animation in a program like 3DSMAX or can I just make a character mesh and animate it, and how do I do it?[edited by - DorRaba on February 19, 2004 7:12:40 AM][edited by - DorRaba on February 19, 2004 7:13:43 AM]
  You can create the characters and their animations in 3DS MAX and export them to the .x format using either the exporter that comes with the SDK or pandasoft''s exporter.You then need to load the file and its animations into your program. I found Jim Adams book "advanced animation" really helped in this area. However, there is also an example of loading animated meshes in the SDK that you could use.
