hi all, when i render an object to a texture,my materials don't show up. When i render the same object to screen,i see my material. ask if you need some more code but it's a large project and difficult to post the code. anyway here is how i create the rendertexture:

   // Create the texture that will be dynamic.

   if(FAILED(D3DXCreateTexture(D3Ddevice, width, height, D3DX_DEFAULT, 
                          D3DUSAGE_RENDERTARGET, D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8, D3DPOOL_DEFAULT,
                          &surfaceTexture)))
      {
		   return false;
      }
			
   // Get the surface information.

   D3DSURFACE_DESC desc;
   surfaceTexture->GetSurfaceLevel(0, &offScreenSurface);
   offScreenSurface->GetDesc(&desc);

   // Create the off screen surface that will be used to draw on the dynamic texture.

   if(FAILED(D3DXCreateRenderToSurface(D3Ddevice, desc.Width, desc.Height, desc.Format, TRUE, 
             D3DFMT_D16, &renderToSurface)))
      {
         return false;
      }

thx in advance. [edited by - freaker13 on April 20, 2004 5:45:32 AM]

Well, render surfaces usually only have one mipmap level but I don''t think that should cause objects to be rendered without materials.

Are you using SetRenderTarget or are you useing ID3DRenderToSurface::BeginScene to render to your surface? I assume you''re using the second one but just making sure.

Also, have you run this with the reference rasterizer? Does the debug spew output anything important?
