Thanks for the replies, I had a break for a while and don't feel so despondent
So Josh, I think you are saying I can add it as a reference in my VB project, but it's up to me to figure out the way to use the library...through a mix of using the intellisense to see what everything does - I guess from that I could consult your documentation and read between the lines ?
It's been a while since I did any VB, so please forgive me..
I don't know where I saw the bit about animation - it wasn't that particular topic though.
Is there a link to a list of supported mesh formats any place ?
Many thanks
I'll keep digging !
