3d models to "world"

[essex boy webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hello all, Im a newbie to director (2 days with the program/no formal training) and ive been working through the tutorials and i got on o.k.

1 big question though, in the 3d tutorial in the manual (pink rabbit magig tricks) there is a 3d "world" that contains 4 models, 3 tables and the room they're in.

Im a lightwave user and i want to import my scene into director but keep all the models in there seperate so i can use models as buttons etc. ive exported a shockwave w3d file into director but it is in there as a model rather than a world?

i need to group several models into a world in director but i have no idea, can anyone help me, and please,please,please, avoid telling me to use lingo if possible!

thanks everyone

A world 3D contains models, which are the objects you´ve created in
LightWave. W3D doesn´t work like common Director members. The W3D secene
contains all the 3D scene inside... and usually, it has to be controlled
via Lingo. You can donwnload Karl´s library to expand the one that comes
within Director:

I smell that you want to create sepparate 3D scenes for using simple
models in each one. I do not recommend this. Using many 3D sprites at
the same time could be CPU intensive and easily drop down the framerate
of your movie.

HTH,
