I am trying to create an object from a mesh. The mesh has been created using DGK.net code and the contents look OK. However, if I create an object from the mesh, and save the object, I get no file at all. The object size is zero, any ideas where i an going wrong? Project attached, including mesh.

Batvink, can you test something for me. I noticed that you're attempting to create a Mesh from a .dbo file. Can you try this with an .X model file instead. When I tried to display the tempmesh.dbo file instead of the cube model in the sample application, it didn't display at all. I'm not sure if the Mesh constructor takes DBO files as an option. I thought that mesh objects were derived from .x model files.

Anyway, let me know what happens.

Paul.

Paul, I tried this, it fails too using DB Primitives as the source:

I have more info on where it goes wrong

This doesn't work:



But this DOES work...



So it looks like the class initiator that just accepts the mesh doesn't work. This is making more sense now, as my whole reason for running this test is that my objects don't appear on screen. Extending this test above, I get the same results - the object doesn't appear on screen unless it is created from the mesh WITH texture.

I'm wondering if this is behaviour in the engine itself. Both constructors are basically calling into the engine code, so I'm wondering if you're up for it, to test the Interop function calls directly. This will at least rule out the possibility of the wrapper being bugged. I'll test this myself to see if there is a problem with the class rather than something in the main engine code.

I can try whatever, but you'd have to tell me what's needed, I'm a standard user of VB.net. If it helps, the last example uses standard primitives and should work for any test.

Mnemonix tried this for me in DGK - it doesn't work. Think these needs reporting as a bug in DGK, I'll get the code from him.
