Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone would be able to help me.

I seem to be having an issue with computing normals of a mesh using slimdx.

I am getting the D3DERR_INVALIDCALL: Invalid call (-2005530516) error whenever i try to compute the normal of a mesh. My code is probably not the best, however for a first attempt i am doing what i can.

I have attached it to help with the troubleshooting.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Your vertex format doesn't have a normal, so ComputeNormal can't do its work. You need this:

    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
    public struct PositionNormalColored
    {
        public Vector3 Position;
        public Vector3 Normal;
        public int Color;
        public static readonly VertexFormat format = VertexFormat.Diffuse | VertexFormat.Position | VertexFormat.Normal;
    }

Thank you very much for your help unbird. It no longer throws this error.

However, the next question i have is why doesn't it show the cube?

Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.
