When I load my model into my game, it just apeers all black. (Yes I have put all of the correct files in the same folder and the filenames in the.x file ARE correct.) Now the weird thing is that when I load the same exact folder into the media browser that comes with the TGC Store, the model has all of the correct textures. I am really stumped on this. Any Help???

If it hasn't exploded yet, I haven't touched it.

That does sound wierd.... Provide the .x file. Maybe you have a multi-material assignment that can't be used in DBP... There was an earlier post that had that problem.

The fastest code is the code never written.

OK. It seems you have a SINGLE skinmesh that you are applying 3 distict textures to... Right?

If that is correct, then it won't work in DBP. There is a limit (as far as anyone has explained to me) of one material and texture to a distict mesh (object). Try separating the 3 components of your weapon and texture them separately, then export it to .x

ps. Don't start your 37 post conversation with Green Gandalf about how many materials an object can have on this thread

That's a question to which I have no answer.

Wow, I'm so stupid I set ambient light to 0 so the object wasn't lit!

We didn't discuss that issue. The question of how many you could have was never raised - but it is certainly at least five as my example on that unmentionable thread demonstrated.

Glad you got it sorted though.
