Hello, I''ve been going at game programming for a bit now, but now I''ve hit a little snag. I just made a house in Lightwave 7.5, and exported it to a .X file in Deep Exploration. When I loaded it into my .X viewer, only the brick walls were textured (1st layer in Lightwave, too), I checked the .X file out in Deep Exploration, and it gave me this frame heirachy Frm `object7 `Frm6 `object6 `Frm3 `object4 `Frm1 `object2 I''m basically using the DirectX 8.1 SDK source to load the .X file in [see below] Any help would be much appreciated. #include "global.h" #include "core.h" DWORD End; float theta = -15.0f; float alpha = 1.0f; float beta = 150.0f; LPD3DXMESH g_pMesh = NULL; // Our mesh object in sysmem D3DMATERIAL8* g_pMeshMaterials = NULL; // Materials for our mesh LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE8* g_pMeshTextures = NULL; // Textures for our mesh DWORD g_dwNumMaterials = 0L; // Number of mesh materials LPD3DXBUFFER pD3DXMtrlBuffer; struct CUSTOMVERTEX { FLOAT x, y, z; // The untransformed position for the vertex.

First off, have you tried your .X file in the DX SDK mesh viewer? If it shows up OK there, then this indicates a problem with your loader code.

Thanks,
It looked OK in their mesh viewer, and I just copied some of their source from their Enhanced Mesh sample and now i''m slowly getting there. At least now everything is textured, but albiet with the wrong texture... all brick.bmp.
Oh well... thanks anyway
