Hello board.
You might see me alot here pretty soon, as I start to unravel the mysteries of DBPro, but right now I have a quick question for you all.
When loading an object, such as:



- Why does a past image of the object stay loaded on a 2d scale behind everything else? I can't seem to use any clear method to dispose of it. If you need me to explain further, please say so. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Drew

Are you refering to the paste image command?...If so,I think you need to delete it(Delete image) when needed.

no, i mean it does something like this:

i load up the .x file,
it shows up on the screen at some point far away
i reposition the camera and set all the camera properties
the 3d model works fine, it moves around, etc. but there is that original loaded clip of it in the background. it doesn't move and I can't figure out how to clear it. It's not the load image stuff, I can assure you, my base code is only based on code to create one object from a .x file and one camera and the settings for that camera. Perhaps I'm doing this wrong. Could you give me a sample code of how to load a .x world and position a camera and character in a certain spot and direction, what would be rather your recommended template for it?

Try removing the sync commands at the beginning of the code

It may be because you have two cameras - There is a default camera (number 0) that always exists and you cannot delete.

Try setting the backdrop on. If you have empty space in the background, it never gets cleared.

Thanks in advance.
All the Best,
