I am a... beginner... programmer with DBC. I have made really basic models with wings 3d. My problem is manipulating them in DBC, so that I can say, swing a mace or make the mace a 1st person view weapon.
Then there is getting the character. How can I make animated .x files like the one in the http://developer.thegamecreators.com/?f=t01/3d_tutorial_index tutorial?

If I remember well, wings 3D can't animate. You'll need to use another program if you want to do animation.

Ok I tried fragMOTION, and it looks good. One last thing though... Is gameSpace as good a program as cheaper ones like milkshape to model and fragmotion to animate? Or are there other features that are not supported that make gameSpace better?
