I created a model of a sword in DoGA. Its in .X format.
I can look at with Zircher's 3D model veiwer, but when I try to load it into Darkbasic Pro, its all jumbled. Here's the weird thing. When I take Zircher's 3d model veiwer source code and run it through DBPro, its still jumbled.
I'm fully upgraded, what woul cause this problem?

What's the code for loading and viewing the object in dbpro? If you set your camera range as 0 to 100, the 0 will cause the camera to draw faces that should be culled.

You're using patch 5.2. TGC put a new .X parser in 5.2 that freaking hates quad polys (something that some editors/exporters like DoGA loves.)

When you recompile the viewer code, you bring the bug with you. The first viewer was compiled under patch 5.1.

Three possible solutions: Delete DBP and re-install up to patch 5.1 only. Or, when you export your models make sure to triangulate them so that the multi-sided poly bug does not bite. Or, convert the .X file to the DBO format and get better speed, smaller file sizes, and more goodness as a perk.

You can find the DBO convertor in the Program Announcement forum.
