Is there any way to prevent normals to be scaled when a scaling operation is part of your transform? I'm trying to render a unit sphere in different sizes by scaling it in the world transform, but it messes up the lightning (I'm using the fixed pipeline).

I would suggest reading about and enabling the render state D3DRS_NORMALIZENORMALS.

Thanks. Never heard of that render state before. But I'm a noob, so that isn't very surprising. :)
