hello
i have exported X file from blender
and it dosent recive any lights whatsoever
its too dark , and dont even show the normals smoothing
just plain dark.

i checked the file in DirectX X viewer and the normals seems fine
in blender they seem fine also
but when i load them into GDK its just too dark and im missing alot of detail with it.

i exported using, DirectX Exporter for 2.49/2.5
im using 2.49 cause i cant export from 2.5 with it..

at first i had a problem where i mirrored the legs and hands
but then the mirrored ones , had the opposites normal
so i flipped them, you could see it good but the shading was like i didnot flipped them..
has anyone encountered such a problem?
its for the intel contest , so pls help.

ty for your time
a picture:



p.s i also tried dbSetObjectLight() and dbSetObjectDiffuse() but still nothing , so maybe its something inside blender that i missed out..

To correct the normals you may try:



If you think that the object is 'crispy', try to adjust smoothing angle:



An angle of 30.0f uses to give good results, but it depends on every particular mesh, and their facet angle.

i think un-textured objects have default lighting, unlike textured ones, so i think you need to add lights

Try dbSetObjectEmissive, also it may be the camera angle, also dbSetObjectLight

Try putting this at the start of your program, I have to do this every time to get any lighting to work.
dbPerformChecklistForGraphicsCards();
dbSetGraphicsCard ( dbChecklistString(1) ) ;
