Virtual Texture Demo it looks like an impressive work. Probably I missed something and I was wondering: in which ways it is different from a clipmap? http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/hoppe/gpugcm.pdf They divide a huge map in chunks (that in your approa...

DrawIndexedPrimitive fails thanks for the reply. I thought the same in the beginning, but why the problem does not happen when I render only the scene without cube map? (or the cube map without scene?)

3d studio max sdk Hi Tano, you should really look in Collada, it allows for doing exactly what you want to do. Alternatively, you may look in the exporters available for ogre3d; there are several of them working with 3ds max, for example this one: http:/...
