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

There are some things you need to check:

1. When 3ds Max saved the object did it bake the light textures on?

2. Make sure you are designating which light to SET LIGHT TO OBJECT POSITION.

3. When you make lights in DB sometimes their range is really jacked up, extending to 3000 units or something like that try scaling down the range.

4. Before you add any external lights play around with the ambient light and ambient object light.
