Hi, thanks for clicking. It would mean a lot to me if somebody could test something for me.

I have a model and I will put an address down to download the file(100% virus-free and scanned, so don't worry). It is a model saved in a .x file extension. If you have DirectX9 or some other third party files, could you do a bare bones test compilation of code with this file in it to see if it loads?

My computer is messed up and won't support DirectX Development libraries, so that's why I am wondering if anyone can show a picture/snapshot of the model and see if it is formatted in the correct texture, geometry data, not corrupt in any other way, etc.

You can use any simple copy/paste sample .x file loading codes, etc. I just really need to see, and would be utterly pleased if anyone here can attempt to load the attached .x file and show a picture if it compiles correctly, etc.

Thank you!

Here is the link to the file: http://www.2shared.c...rhinoqueef.html

EDIT: VERY SORRY for posting twice! It was an accident.

Hi,
you didn't upload textures, don't forget that the .x format doesn't include texture data, the images have to be in separate files.

There are few possible errors in the model (no idea whether it is intentional or really an error):
- The box is "missing" one edge - the one above the F letter. There is a hole in the model.
- The cylinder isn't really a cylinder (if it was supposed to be a cylinder). There's only 1/4 of the outer surface and no bottom/top caps.

Hi, Tom. Thanks for being kind enough to compile the code and upload a photo of it within a window.

However, you didn't do it raw I noticed. There appears to be some settings enabled in that window you showed displaying text and buttons on the bottom.

I find that you used some special settings to enable additional displays within the window. I just expected to see the window with the model file loaded inside of it. You must have used some extra code or some third-party controls to load additional displays inside the display.

Are you coding raw through the DX API and the OS bare bones, compiling through a command-line interface program from your OS, or using some other DirectX interface/API programs for programming? I usually code directly with Direct3D and the operating system. However .... still ... yeah.

I am not sure why the box is missing one corner of its face, but all in all thanks.

However, a re-post of the window without additional settings would have been appreciated better(I prefer to know that you directly uploaded the file itself and didn't take this process through additional and unknown procedures to display it through some tweaking or code/interface changes).

Thanks Nik02, you are absolutely right.

Hi again, Tom and Nik02.

I should have made this clear earlier. I expected my code to be compiled and run through a basic DX window.

Hi again, Nik02.

I mean the code I kindly asked for.

I still don't understand what do you want.
Do you want to see a code to load and display an x model?
Or do you want to see how the particular x model looks and whether it is fine, with no errors?

If the later, then I already provided a picture. That's how the model looks, writing the code myself would make no difference. The model file includes definition of vertices (position, color, normal, texture coordinates etc.), indices and "subsets". There really aren't multiple different ways how to interpret and display the data. What may differ is lighting, because the model doesn't define lights or shaders (effects). But what exactly do you mean by "raw"? There is no "standard" way how to light a model. And I can say that the way DirectX Viewer rendered it is kinda very "basic".
