Hi again, I recently started making models for my new game, Neon Adventures RV.

Here are pictures of the models:

(Pictures are going to be uploaded soon)

I really need to know how to animate these models.

Here is the lowdown:
The Models are all in X format.
I need to animate them so they can go into THE 3D GAME MAKER.
My modelling program does not support animating.

Can anyone suggest a free (or at least under £20/$20) X model animating program for Windows XP?

Well, maybe, but it is a "Work in Progress". Take it literally and he's in the right forum. His mistake is that he is symotaneously (sp?) posting his model and asking QUESTIONS.

Don't worry, next time just post your model picture in the 3D chat threads. Cheers!

when you say the 3d game maker my original thoughts were ha, you should buy DBPro, but you could look at the models supplied and look at their animation first then use something like milkshape or anim8tor to animate them.

My modelling program is for making movies, not actual game models.
But I have managed to export them as X files.

My 3D Creator is called Doga.
There are 3 versions:
Doga L1 (level 1) Basic Movies and colours.
Doga L2 (level 2) Multi joint objects and Poses.
Doga L3 (level 3) Advanced glow effects, Actions and User Textures.

I use Doga L3.
Look, I know the 3D game maker is a little off, but I really like it and I have started learning C++, I just need a program that can animate the models! Isn't there anything out there? (By the way, I have used Google/Yahoo/Ask Jeeves search engines too, no luck)

Piccys!

The Neo Warper:




These are Rendered images, these are not what they will look like in the real game. I just need an animating program!

Rings:

I want these to spin around.

Chaos Emeralds:

I want these to lean on the floor, (that's easy)

For more info on the game, check out my new site at www.freewebs.com/neonadventures

If anybody has a program, but doesn't know where they got it from, I am willing to send my models to somebody and they can animate them, However I need to know if I can trust them or not. Please help!!!!!

Hmm...
I never thought of that.

Ok, I'll give that a shot.

EDIT:
Milkshape 3D doesn't take X files.

Dude, go milkshape - it's simple and it works. It's only $25.
