Hi, I'm user of AShadow lib, and, this lib only support .3DS and .X animated files for use Shadows... I have many .X animated files, but, when I try to animate them in blitz, nothing happens... What I need to animate .X files?

Hierarchical animation only. Blitz3D cannot do skeletal animation on .x files, which is likely why AShadow doesn't support the B3D format. ( Because it can't retrieve the vertex positions when they are attached to bones and hence the shadows are wrong. )

So yeah, segmented/hierarchical/call it what you like animation only. No vertex morphing and no bones.

A warning with ashadow, your exported games wont have shadows on geforce 8000 seires cards and windows vista. :(

Thank you by warning...

I'll not use the shadows, because the AShadow don't support my .b3d animated files :(... So, I'll only use the other features of the lib.
