> > i was told that some 1 (vipr) has a made some kind of tool so when u sue 3ds2vxl it applies a camo effect or some tool like this does any 1 know where i can get this tool?


> oh it is far from ready. it is just something i have proposed. i've only messed around with the code a little bit. it will probably only be in the windows version of 3ds2vxl and that is taking a while to do. the camouflage effect will be achieved by procedurals which will be in dll files so that people who are programmers can write their own code to do any effect they want hopefully. i'm not sure about all the technical aspects coz i'm still very new to the programming language.

> i'm thinking that for instance instead of a material like the hull of a tank or airplane having a diffuse texture-map called desert_camouflage.jpg it will just say desert_camouflage and that will indicate to my program that it is a function in a dll. is that how i should do it guys? i don't know what is possible with the language. i'm totally new to windows programming.

The language is C++. C++ is independent of Windows programming. Yes, it's possible. But not many users will be able to create DLLs.
