How to open .b3d files?

It's my understanding that Blitz3D opens .b3d files. How do I do that? I can't seem to find an option to open b3d files. |
| ||
Have you got the latest blitz3d (account->product updates) ... the original default version 1.64 (very, very old) doesn't open them. To open them simply use "loadmesh" or "loadanimmesh"..... |
| ||
How do I do "loadmesh"? Is it a code? |
| ||
Yes. loadmesh and loadanimmesh are standard blitz3d functions. eg: graphics3d 800,600,0,2 camera = createcamera() cameraclscolor camera,48,48,64 mesh = loadmesh("mymeshfile.b3d") ;also supports .3ds, .x if(mesh=0) then runtimeerror("could not load mesh file") moveentity camera,0,0,-10 repeat cls ;play around with these commands..... moveentity camera,0,0,-0.01 turnentity mesh,0.1,0.05,0.075 pointentity camera,mesh renderworld text 0,0,"Tris:"+trisrendered() flip until keyhit(1) freeentity mesh freeentity camera endgraphics end |

I tried running it and it says "Error writing flie to C:\Program Files (x86)\Blitz3D\tmp\tmp.bb |
| ||
Check the folder exists, and that you have write permissions to it. |
| ||
The new windows security model by default prevents programs from writing to c:\program files and c:\program files (x86) after install-time. Easiest work-around is to install in a different location, e.g. c:\Blitz3D |
| ||
In addition to what xlsior says...ive found on a few win7 machines blitz doesn't create the tmp folder on installing regardless of the install location and the simple fix is to create the folder yourself. |
| ||
I got it working, but it says "Error loading mesh file". I replaced the name with my b3d file, but it still says it. Do I have to put the file location? |
| ||
When opening a file you need to specify the path to the file - which can either be the absolute path or a relative path. I prefer to use relative paths. |
| ||
I loaded the mesh file succesfully. I have one last question: how can I edit it? |
| ||
Depending on what you mean you can use the surface commands (addvertex, addtriangle etc) or you can use a purpose built tool to edit meshes. |
| ||
Hello. I'm curious about how you discovered Blitz3D, and what made you decide to use it instead of other game engines. |
| ||
@Kryzon not sure that it's related, but I discovered it while viewing the files of Sonic World 5. @Matty Like I want to edit the animation that comes with the character. |

@AlphaHedge>>To edit the animations, or to delete some, or to create others, you can use Fragmotion. I believe that there is a trial version. |
