and why bother posting if you have nothing good to say. i ask for help and all i get is you telling me how to write my post thanks alot.

Particles in blitz3d are simply quads, either represented with sprites (easy but inefficient way), quads which you create yourself in code and use a single surface for them, or you can use a particle system like particlecandy (which uses a single surface system using quads or triangles).

As far as I know, you cannot simply export particles from any modelling app and have them render in blitz3d with a simple load'n'play command - although you could write your own.

Regarding the earlier reply to your post by Volker, I would tend to agree that without correct punctuation / spelling / grammar it can make posts much harder to decipher which in turn means you are likely to get less helpful responses.

thanks matty, but what about the uvmaps


Matty(Posted 2009) [#6]
Creating the UV coord set for a mesh varies as to how you go about doing it for different 3d apps, and not having used blender I cannot really assist with this further.

Where's your punctuation?


Just kidding. :)
