Got a problem with an .x file

[bobbie_dache]

Hi. I've got a problem with an .x file. I tried to replace the teapot in Tutorial's 9 engine by my .x file. This file looks good in .x viewer given with DirectX sdk.
I made it with 3Ds studio Max and exported it with PandaExporter. My file is called windows.X . It's actually window's logo 

That's is really nice stuff you've got there. I'll probably use a lightly modified version of your engine for one of my project in computer class.

Can't wait for animation, physics and terrain  .

Nice work dude!

I included the .x file if anyone can tell me my mistake.

Thanks

Big isnt it....

It displays ok on my engine, but only as a bendy looking panel with no texture on it, I think what you need to do is to put the textures in the same directory as the mesh.

Or point the texture portion of the object rendering to the texture folder.

Euhh. I picked the colors in 3ds max. Is there a way to export the textures outside de .x file?
Using Panda exporter

Sorry,

I have no idea, I have only used MeshX...

Hy, I've tried your windows.x file and I can load it without any probs with the specified colours with XNA GSE, try out the simple example from the Help 'Your first 3d' and load your mesh there.
I can't see nothing wrong with the x.file.
Shure you can't see a texture on it, because there is no texture aligned to your mesh

Sorry for my horrible english, but school times are long ago ....

But how can I extract the texture from my .x file?

[gonZoX]

There is no texture in your x.file yet. You told you have created the mesh with 3ds, and there you have specified the colors (and no texture) for the mesh. If you create a new Material in 3ds with is aligned to a bitmap texture and use this for your mesh, than after exporting your mesh to *.x there will be a reference to texture included in the x.file. Open your x.file with the editor and search for the path of the included image file, p.e. :
TextureFilename { "C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\Administrator\\Eigene Dateien\\3D_Modelle\\Camoflage.jpg"; }
In this case you see that a absolute path is added and this will only work as long as this path will be found, changing all existing pathes to relative ones will help when you will distribute your mesh.
