I noticed miniB3D doesn't have the captureworld function. Is there a way to implement rendertweening?

You are right. And there is no 'tween#' parameter for RenderWorld as well.
Maybe you can use something like this?


	Import sidesign.minib3d

	Graphics3D 800, 600, 0, 2

	'every 15 milliseconds, game should be updated = ~66FPS
	Const frame = 15
		
	cam = CreateCamera()
	MoveEntity cam, 0, 0, -5
	Global cube = CreateCube()
		
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'									main loop
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	now = MilliSecs()
	elaps = 0
	Repeat
			
		'measure timer elaps
		old = now
		now = MilliSecs()
		elaps = elaps + (now - old)
		
		'sync gameplay to timer
		'every "frame" millisecs, game should be updated
		While (elaps > frame)

			UpdateGame()
			UpdateWorld (frame / 15.0)
		
			elaps = elaps - frame
			
		Wend
		
		RenderWorld
		
		Flip
	
	'esc = exit	
	Until KeyHit(key_escape)
	
	End


Function UpdateGame()

	TurnEntity cube, 1, 2, 3

End Function

Not sure if it is ideal, I've never used rendertweening. The idea for this code came from an example I found online.

I took the basics for it from my platform engine in the archives. But that is a 2D game. I haven't tried it with a 3D game yet.
