Hi, this may seem like a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyways. This has maybe been gone through in the tutorials, if it has, it has gone house past me.. My question is related to the tutorial where we load the milkshape model.. Say I have loaded this model (a spacecraft by the way) and I want to move it somewhere? How can I do this? say I'm loading 2 model files, and I want to control them separately.. Ie: when I'm programming, and want to fiddle a little with the vectors, I want the spaceship to move by the x axis. ship.x+=1; or somethig.. just to give you a little clue about what I want to do.. Any help would be appreaciated! =) btw: I'm not too experienced in this programming, so a detailed description would also suit me perfectly Thanks in advance!

in your drawing scene procedure, you can move each object separately by using the glPushMatrix and glPopMatrix functions.

eg.

Procedure DrawScene()

glPushMatrix

glTranslatef(1,0,0)
DrawSpaceShip1

glPopMatrix

glPushMatrix

glTranslatef(0,0,5)
DrawSpaceShip2

glPopMatrix

End Procedure.
