I'm kinda lost here, so getting some feedback is nice. The case is, I wrote a basic CD3DSprite class to handle most of my sprites stuffage. However, the problem arises that some game objects exist of 2 or more sprites. For instance, my asteroids ship has the ship sprite and a shield sprite(Which only gets drawn when shields > 0). As for now, I had to overload my render function, and render the object myself. Kinda sloppy if you ask me. Currently I just want to have a way of keeping the rendering encapsulated, so it will become easier to render multiple textures as a whole. However, I can't seem to come up with a proper design. What do you guys recommend? So far I thought of using a vector and placing all the textures into it, along with a little state, such as DISPLAY and HIDE and a modulationcolor. Any other ideas?

I'm takign the approach where each object renders itself. The objects hold a shared pointer that contain the sprite data.

I think I go with my vector approach and see how that works out. But first I'll commit my current code to the SVN repository(After reinstalling it. Reinstalled my server last week).
