Jon, 
I use 3d Studio Max to make my 
3D models, to convert the .3ds to an X 
file, you can use numerous third party 
tools such as those available from 
www.okino.com, however if you have the 
DirectX SDK, you will have a utility in 
your DXUtils directory called 
Conv3DS.exe. 
To convert you model and 
animations simply type:
Conv3DS 
man.3ds -A
at the command line to 
generate a .x file!

Thanks 4 this! I haven't got a 3D 
modeller though. That's the only reason 
why I've not tried to learn D3DRM. But 
thanks to you I might start now!

Great job. To zoom in on the ship, add 
this to the DX_Input sub:
If 
DI_State(DIK_DOWN) <> 0 Then
FRCam.SetPosition FRCam, 0, 0, 1
End If
