I've been trying to make time to look into this for several weeks now, but graduate studies, work, family, etc, don't leave enough time for personal projects, so I'm turning to gamedev to hopefully point me in the right direction, or even show me the obvious problem I introduced originally.

This project is mostly a collection of sub-projects and implementations of ideas and techniques, so please excuse the messy/naive code, but I always welcome constructive criticism.

My initial thought was the texture coordinates are wrong, but they appear correct on a quick check in 3ds Max. The screenshot has some notations, I'm also using an object loading that's slightly modified from one I found in one of the DirectX11 game books (.obj is a stop gap until I can write my own format). Please let me know if I've forgotten something.

Yea, going with what C0lumbo said, it looks like you were parsing the faces improperly (looking at the OBJ file it looks like each face is defined by 3 indices - which makes sense, but then you were grabbing 9 at a time to define 1 face?) and then the loops you had at the end seemed to be a bit of a mess. I tried to clean it up real quick (haven't compiled this but it should be mostly good). Hope this helps.

The day after I started this thread, I came down with the flu. Right before finals too; lucky me.

Thank you both for your replies, I'll dive into the code this weekend and get it fixed. I never liked using the tokenizer or object loader. They came from a book which has revealed itself to have more than a couple problems with its code examples. Ultimately I want to write a utility to convert from Collada to a binary format that I can copy directly into buffers, but that's pretty far down the list of things I want to implement. Thanks again for the help
