i have recently loaded a new .x model into my game but the problem is it appears dull.

in my actual 3d package (3d max 5) i did put light onto the object , and when i rendered the object it looked a lot brighter , but when i loaded it into my game there was no light at all i was still dull.

i have also tried the "SET LIGHT TO OBJECT POSITION" command nothing really happened , i also added 4 lights on the same object and nothing happened. i have also tried to reduce the ambient lighting.

Thanks in advance

Well for Max 5 as far as im aware you cant export lights from your .max file(I use Panda). So to get my lights i use a light mapper( gile[s] ) and the .dbo format.

But ive not really gone into using actual lights in DBP.

Gir, can you explain how you use the light mapper and the DBO format? I'm assuming you import the 3DS file (or X) into Giles and apply the lighting and then export as a DBO file? What are the benefits of DBO over X or whatever? Thanks.

Yeah i export .x from Max, load it into gile[s] light map it then export as .dbo, dbo, loads faster than .x and it also supports two sets of UVW coords, where as panda .x exporter doesnt. Thats pretty much it i think
