Translate animated Meshes
Author
Hi,
I was wondering how animated meshes are rendered in Directx using X files. I found an article (http://www.toymaker.info/Games/html/load_x_hierarchy.html) which described how to load x files using the DirectX function D3DXLoadMeshHierarchyFromX.
Now I'm wondering how I can move these meshes? As far as I understood the tutorial there is an D3DXMATRIX array of bone-matrices after the x file is loaded. What do I have to do to move this model along the different axis?

*edit*
Ok, now I read that the whole model will move if I translate the TransformationMatrix of the root frame. How could I miss that? But still I have the problem to translate the mesh.
Here is what I do:
Any Idea what I'm doing wrong?

Yes, you're doing the programming equivalent of trying to run four consecutive marathons without ever having jogged a few laps around the track.
I say that because it sounds like you don't have an understanding of transformation matrices and how they work at all, but you're trying to render animated meshes which require a thorough understanding of transformation matrices.
Read Chapter 6. Vertex Transformations from my book. It will explain what you need to know about matrices and how to combine them.
