RFront can create poses from X files and save them (in binary X),
like popular POSER program. But RFront works with simple
low-poly 3D models. More, poses can be animated in DarkBasic
Classic programs, creating simple arcade motion such as
idle, walk, run, jump. The motion is not very realistic,
but funny. Moreover, this editor can work with a lot of number
of models, not only specially created. It scales models when
loading (to 100 units Y) to avoid problem of 3rd person
"too small" or "too large" models. RFront is freeware.

You have to download 2 files marked green letters "download"
from page

http://www.atd-group.narod.ru/eng/models.htm

These files are RAR archives, so you must have WINRAR archiver from

u could set ur site at www.members.lycos.co.uk its free and u have about 100 MB(I've never seen it down either"

You should seriously think about changing ur server. It took me 20 min. to download the 1st file and usually it takes me bout 5 secs.

Does ur program work for turned based animation. I mean like I have a model and I want to rotate it by 30 deg. in z axis. Can it do that and after I save will it show it happen as animated .x file?

Is the animation mesh-deform and in DBC how is this possible?

I saw a Million dollars I ran and tried to grab it then..................... I woke up ughh!

what i want to do is simply rotate it. No deformation.

To kkzgreen:
Thank you very much for info about lycos.
I made a mirror at:

http://members.lycos.co.uk/rfront/

Can somebody try: is it ok now for UK?

The program does not save animated models, it saves
meshes in .X format and you must have additional code
in your program to make an animation from two or more poses.

The first part of code make a set of animations from 2 poses.
(see file _flip.dba)

The second part of code must be called in do:...:sync:loop
cycle to play animation. See example about ants.

To simply rotate model you must select central rorating point
(stomach) and use shift key + 1...6 keys. You can also move
model up and down using Q and W. I missed this moment from
instruction. But output model will be scaled to YSIZE=100

To The Dark Padawan

Suppose we have initial dot position x0=0,y0=0,z0 and
final dot position x1=100,y1=100,z1=100

So we can write




Now we have a cube moving in 3D forward and backward (I hope this code works)

The same thing we can do for all dots in mesh. (using memblocks)
So we can make an animation set (for example 8 or 16 meshes) using only starting and ending mesh.

The biggest trouble, that some format conferters (such as DirectX mview) "reorder" or "optimize" dots and triangles order in model when save it.
This fact makes animation impossible.
My editor preserves this order and change vertex coordinates only.

Is it fast?

Wow! Rich told me it was possible to technical point but highly unlikely ! Good work, Good Work!
Edit# oh I just looked at my old post and I asked if it was possilble to make a dll to load .mdl for mesh deformation in DBC
silly me

To kkzgreen:

"Two ants" have a code packed to DbaMini format.
More info at:

http://atd-group.narod.ru/eng/coding.htm

Sorry, but I cannot reload files from this page to fast server
right now. And now I am "off line" most of time. But "Two ants"
archive has DBA source and it works under DB Classic.
