I've been using the Pandasoft DirectX exporter for quite sometime but have always had a problem exporting models from 3D Studio max which have multiple objects in max (i.e. if the legs are a separate object to the upper body and can be selected independently of each other in max).

This is what the mesh looks like when exported: http://i.imgur.com/9NAMQ.png

Now I know the DirectX mesh viewer is somewhat buggy however I would like to emphasize I've tried viewing the same model in three different viewers (two from Microsofts code, when of mine which is a modified version of one of Microsofts examples) and it has looked exactly the same.

So the problem *may* be with the exporter, in which case does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it or hack around the problem or know of a better exporter?

Thanks for any help!


*edit, ok I just found out it doesn't work in any case with this mesh, even if I export the mesh with just one object. So it's just this mesh (and a few others like it) which don't work, sitll not sure why...

*I should also point out that if I export the model to an FBX or something else it works fine.
