I'm having real problems getting any .x files that i create to display textures. I have used several 3d modelling tools (openfx, truespace, and blender) to create a model and then used crossroads to convert to .x format. Does anyone know why i get no texture info?

Thanks.

Never heard of a model format that "contains" textures. The modeling I know of and that game companies use contains only mesh data and references to the textures. You then have to load the texture from a seperate file or such and wrap it onto your model. If there is a model format that stores the mesh, then the textures, and any ID values, let us game programmers know, as it's news to us!

: Indeed the model doesnt "contain" the texture, the "texture info" i was referering to is the reference to the texture, which is part of the .x file. So i load the mesh into the buffer and try to extract the material and texture names but nothing there.

Have you tried opening your X file in a hex or binary editor to verify that the texture data was being stored? If it isn't stored for some reason, that's why it can't get any out when loaded. I am unfamiliar with this X format, but I'll do some poking around. Check to make sure the texture info is being stored in the file first.

I have the same problem - did u resolve this issue? if so PLEASE let me know - i'm using cinema 4D, and when looking its not saving the texture info....

seems silly not to use .x files if they can hold the data needed.

Thanks
