move an object

Where to begin...

Each "object" of yours probably has an associated location in world space, ie and x, y, and z, coordinate. You translate each object mesh by these coordinates when you render then so that they appear in the proper scene location. So to move your objects you just adjust the x, y, z coordinates of your object. However, it is a bit more complicated because depending on how your object is oriented, concepts like "forward" and "up" are relative. Try the GameDev search function for help.

Assign a different world matrix to every mesh you need, then just set each matrix before you render that particular object...

I read the post of hammer_bg_, but i don't understand anything. I'm just a program in visual basic, and i can't use the examples of those post. If anybody knows those examples in VB, please write it.

I use VB... Anyway, create a new matrix for your 3D mesh/object. When the mesh needs to be transformed, transform theat matrix. Right before rendering the object set the matrix using (in DX9):

D3DDevice.SetTransform(TransformType.World, matObject)

where D3DDevice is your devbice, and matObject is the matrix for the object.

Ok, i''m going understanding. When I had only an object and a worldMatrix, that runs ok, but now i have 2 object and 2 worldmatrix. Who i assing the objects to the matrices??? Thanks.
