Hi,i''ve written a pretty good 3d engine, but the problem came up when i realized that the 3d models can even move.... so i''ve got a couple of questions which are really important for me: say we are in 3ds max: 1. can i save more animations in one .max file ??? (like man_move_forward, man_turn_left, so on ...) or i have to have them in separate files: man_fw.max, man_t_left.max, ... ??? 2. second one is about skinning: what plug in should i use to apply textures precisely -> u,v -> x,y,z -> i haven''t found such precise applying in std. version (that plugin should be free if posssible) 2b) what you think of milkshak(p)e (<- not a joke i just dont know the correct name ....) if you can answer theese questions i''ll really really appreciate it ... -- dex7

nosfy: my engine is offtopic here, and you are too
eng3d: i know how is animation done - both you mentioned, but i wasn''t asking about this, wtf you answer questions - that nobody asks ????
3dcgi: thanks

Hehe, dang, dex7 seems a little touchy there when it comes to his engine and off topics... Calm down little one.

Milkshape is an okay program, easy to learn; which is a deffinate plus. Although I personally prefer Blender because of the added power. Complex yes, but worth it in my opinion. Some say its almost as good as the high dollar progs, dont know if thats true.
