Hey ppl, I am kinda new on directx. Lets say I have a sphere on 3ds max 2008, and it has a meterial map (umm like fallout in green). When I export it as X file using panda plugin and open it with dx viewer or in my directx c++ app, it it's pure white with no reflection refraction etc.. I have seen .fx file export also but dunno much about it... so how can I export the meterial and meterial map and also load and show it in my dx app? thank you all..

What also helps is not using the buildin exporter or the Panda exporter that comes with the DirectX SDK. They both suck royally on complex scenes. Instead have a look for the kwXPort plugin. We use it for our purposes, and it's quite reliable.

hey guys,

i can export and texture image (bmp, jpg) with no error. But I cannot export if I paint my object to gray, yellow green any color. it's just do not export as colored vertex. i am wondering how can i export color reflection and refraction values with .x exporter. if it is not possible how can i implement color, refraction, reflection etc..?

thank you all..
