D3D .x file texture/material problem

I've created several models in 3Dstudio max and exported them using PandaSoft plug-in to .X files. I can load and render the .X files in my app.

The problem is that the texture and material information is not used. The textures are all skewed and the materials are not present, such as reflectivity. They are correct in 3Dstudio before exporting.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Re: D3D .x file texture/material problem

Using my crystal ball, I would suggest that your app is incorrectly written where the rendering of textures and materials are concerned. I looked very closely, but couldn't quite make out the line numbers of said offending code.

dont be condescending

this is the render model method:
models hold the material info, texture number (points to a texture array) and the mesh. Textures and meshes loaded using native D3DXLoadMeshFromX, D3DXCreateTextureFromFile, nothing out of the ordinary.

Code:

void cGraphics::RenderModel(int iModelNum, float fPosX, float fPosY, float fPosZ, float fRotX, float fRotY, float fRotZ) {

        

        //temp matrices

        D3DXMATRIX Rotation_Matrix;

        D3DXMATRIX Translation_Matrix;

        D3DXMATRIX World_Matrix;



        //rotations

        D3DXMatrixRotationYawPitchRoll(&Rotation_Matrix, fRotY, fRotX, fRotZ);



        //position

        D3DXMatrixTranslation(&Translation_Matrix, fPosX, fPosY, fPosZ);

        

        //combine rotation and position        

        World_Matrix = Rotation_Matrix * Translation_Matrix;



        //apply world transforms

        p_device->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &World_Matrix);



        //draw model subsets

        for(int i = 0; i < Model[iModelNum].iTexNum.size(); i++)

        {

                p_device->SetMaterial( &Model[iModelNum].Material[i] );

                p_device->SetTexture(0, Textures[Model[iModelNum].iTexNum[i]]);

                Model[iModelNum].Mesh->DrawSubset(i);

        }        

}

They say there are no stupid questions, but there are sure stupid ways to ask them. First you choose to do that, then you choose to instruct me in how I should respond to such a question. Sonny boy, you can't afford my help, now.
