I am creating custom models in blender and want to apply multiple textures to them. How would I load these objects and textures from DarkGDK? or is it even possible? If I can't do this with .x models, how can this be achieved short of creating multiple objects every time I need to use a different texture?

If your .x object has multiple "limbs" then each "limb" can have it's own texture. I'm afraid if you have multiple textures on a single "limb", GDK won't do them right. My suggestion is to load the .x with no texture assignments and load the textures seperately, then do a dbTextureLimb() for each limb and texture stage..... I know it seems the long way around, but it works. Make a function for loading your .x and include the texture loading and assignment.

The fastest code is the code never written.

Anyone have or know of a good limb tutorial? It's something I've been meaning to learn anyways... Guess I need to get to it.

It's actually pretty simple (for texturing). You need to know which limb you want to texture with what texture. The easiest way is through trial and error if you are working with only a few objects.
dbTextureLimb ( int iObject, int iLimb, int iImage );
simply rotate through the "iLimb" and figure out what image goes with what limb. Keep track of the info and put it into your code. Don't worry, each time you load that object, the limb assignments will be the same unless you change something.
Alternatively, you can look for the limb name and match it with a texture using dbLimbName( int iObject, int iLimb):



3DSMax lets you name the limbs. I don't know what other 3D editors do.....

@Parry: That's a very slow and ineffecient way of applying textures on the fly, you are better of with limb texturing, faster, less chance on mem leaks, less code.
