HI, You need to use getchild command, and then animate it.. Example: you give the name "fishskin" to your mesh (not bone only the mesh) in the 3d editor you used for. fish = loadanimmesh("fish.b3d") animfish=getchild(fish,"fishskin") animate animfish while... wend... Aza

I think you didn't assign the vertices to your skeleton. Skeleton and skin are not attached together so that makes just bones moving. Read a rigging/skinning tutorial for your 3d program.

thanks. i go to try with this new information... in the 3d program, when i move the bones, the sking move too... thanks... :)

Just a question the 3d editor is 3dsmax? If you use the physique modifier that's not work.. You need to use skin modifier. Aza
