Hang on! Vertex animation is not exported according to the gamespace manual. I want vertex animation for the cloth as well as the characters face. That is why I plan to do it via milkshape.

Yer thats what I thought, I knew you could just do whole object animation, but I always thought it didn't export bones. Does it export bones to MS? Then you could just use it's .X exporter.

I'm still hoping that it doesnt need to export to ms, rather that ms can read the caligari object file. Speaking of caligari, update to gamespace EXTREMELY overdue! Hurry up, curses!

Yup, It won't import the actuall bones; but click anim, and youll see that your model kept all its animation Animate it all in GS first

Why do you need the bones? I'm just curious. I only need the animations.

Gamespace can import .obj But can't export it. Using milkshape seems to be good enough for me; it keeps all the animation info.

It can using the LUUV tsx which comes with GS 1.5 hold down ALT and LMB the Obj(LUVV) icon,the Wavefront object format can export groups but not animation though.

I want the bones for darkbasic pro. Plugins like enhanced animations require the bones for many of its commands, I believe. Still, I havent actually got to the rigging stage yet anyway, but when I do, I can carry out a few tests and such.

Kwl. If you need the bones, then you gotta do it in Milkshape

Update on the question! It is proving to be to painful to simply maipulate two sides of verticies. Would it be possible to use the culling solution as suggested by Ruccus, and then code an alternate culling system, which hides the polygons that are obscured by polygons in front of them? That way, I could get away with only one side of polies, and generall make my life easier!
