OK, when I tried to convert 3ds file into x files, well it was fine until I add some material/textures. When I test my new x files using the demos of the SDK ( I think it was the optimized mesh) the result is nothing but a rectangular plane ??? help man !!! please tell me the save and right way to convert 3ds file, is it save to add material in the 3D Studio ?? or u must add it later in your program manually. O yeah not to mention the "X Files" somehow become very2 large up to 5 MB, and I always get this message while converting NOT OUTPUTTING DUMMY FRAME WITHOUT CHILE OUTPUTTING FRAME WITHOUT CHILD ????????????????????? it''s really out there.. the truth I mean..
