hello... this is a very simple slug that i made in Blender...
if anyone can animate this for me so that it looks like it is moving... that would be great... thank you... i have attatched the .blend file

the link below is a picture of the slug... thank you for your help

Why do they turn against me? Especially when i need them the most?

its simple.
press the down key until it ses 1 in the bottem left of the 3d window
salect the object and press i then silect locrot.
press the right key
repeat until its moved to were you want it.

i may make you a simple fk rig to make the body move.
with armatures the anim system works exactly the same it just takes longer to setup.

vidio tuts are invaluble for lerning blender. thars also the noob to pro wicibook.

to render a anim just set the start and end frame. then hit anim.
download the ipo cuves vidio from blender.org

hope this healps

to dbp?

blenders .x exporter dosent usaly work.
try 3ds i think this exporter works all the time

if it is for dbp then the moving anim should be dun via programing.
you could make a scworm anim and play that wile moving

animate... ok... here is what i did...

i made it say 1, then i hit i locrot
and then i hit the right arrow
and then i took the slug, and i pulled his tail in a little bit,
and continued this process till the tail was as far as i wanted it... and then i wanted to see if it would work, so i hit anim.... and it wouldn't move at all...

ive just downloaded your slug.
it has a huge number of problems with it.

main ones
caps meens most inporternt

DONT USE SUBSERF ON A MODAL YOU INTEND TO EXPORT or apply it befor exporting
you need to use alot more geomatry in your cage mesh.
shodent need a subsrf level more than 1 or 2 for a modal like this

you could try using a difarent format. try .x it dosent usaly work. theres a sticy. folo this wen you export direct x files.
hav you tried setting polygon culling to 0 the modal may be inside out!

for a modal to be exported with textures you HAFT to uv map it.
