Simple Question; I HOPE!

I have a 3D object spinning around the center of my 800 x 600 resolution screen. Instead of a black background I would like to stick a bitmap image (also 800 x 600) as the background.

What is the fastest way to do this?

Thanks,
Stede

check cameraclsmode and use drawblock to put the background img on screen, then renderworld and flip.

Is this the proper way?

Graphics3D 800,600
SetBuffer BackBuffer()

camera=CreateCamera()

CameraViewport camera,0,0,800,600
CameraClsMode camera, False, True

light=CreateLight()

stede=LoadMesh("stede.x")
background=LoadImage("background1.bmp")

PositionEntity stede, 0, 0, 10

d# = 0

While Not KeyHit(1)

RotateEntity stede,0,d,0
d# = d# + 1
DrawBlock background, 0, 0
RenderWorld
Flip

Wend

End

I dont see an UpdateWorld in there, but otherwise it looks like what you want.

Personally I prevere to draw 2D first, then calculate 3D, then render it:

While Not KeyHit(1)
DrawBlock background, 0, 0
RotateEntity stede,0,d,0
d# = d# + 1
RenderWorld
Flip
Wend

But it really doesn't matter. Did it work? Then it's ok :)

Why would he need UpdateWorld? He isn't doing animation or collisions.

You guys are the best. Thanks for all your help,
