Yea, I agree, I am a little confused why my animations arent working either. The animations play fine in direct x viewer. I know I am doing something really little wrong lol. Like when I put "dbPositionObject" before "dbMakeObject" HOW STUPID!! After figuring that one out, I immediately shutdown my computer and just cried. LOL! But anyway, do I put "dbLoopObject" in the main loop or something.

Feed us with some sample code

!!

hey, I actually got mine going.

I guess mine were really slow animations, so I had to speed them up a bit lol.

+ Code Snippet


dbLoadObject ( "Torus2.x", 1 );
dbPositionObject ( 1, 0, 0, 0 );
dbPlayObject ( 1 );



	while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
	{

		// move the camera forwards
		if ( dbUpKey ( ) )
			dbMoveCamera ( 1 );

		// move the camera backwards
		if ( dbDownKey ( ) )
			dbMoveCamera ( -1 );

		if ( dbControlKey ( ) )
		{
			dbPlayObject ( 1 );
			dbSetObjectSpeed ( 1, 10000 );
			dbLoopObject ( 1 );

		}

		if (dbShiftKey ( ))
		{
			dbStopObject ( 1 );
		}
		
		// here we make a call to update the contents of the screen
		dbSync ( );
	}
