How to open .b3d files?
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/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. |
