Thanks.
I imported one of the animated DarkMatter 3ds models (H-Babe-Move.3ds) into CFX and immediately exported it to b3d. The result was static, distorted and lacking its textures.
There seems to be no easy answer and it looks like 3d Studio Max - which I don't have - would be mighty useful.
I'm concerned about the distortions in CFX.
Any advice on how to animate these characters with "less hassle" - short of spending Hundreds on Studio Max - I know Flash animation and am OK programming Blitz3d but I am no artist. I hope for tools that are semi "wysiwyg" as I cannot visualize from distorted media - one thing that really impresses me is the flattened faces and things I see for "skins" - I have _no_ clue how anyone could paint such a thing as I can hardly paint a tree with crayons...
Thanks for any further advice.
