Alright, I was trying to make a Vertex Buffer class, but after hours of frustration, I decided to make a few simple wrapper functions to see my mistakes in a simpler form. Still no. I can set up and render a vertex buffer just fine outside of clas...

RETURN OF THE MINDSET!11!! talking love Thanks, but yeah, I dont' wanna create a false sense of attraction. I just wanna bring it on, if it's there. I'm trying to figure out, if it's a good idea to hang out at her house for a while, and then go somewhere or whatever. I'm not sure. I t...

What's Toronto like, eh? :) Quote:so, wait a minute, your going to a city with a girl, and your not old enough to drink? whatever. I'd highly recomend the Gay Pride parrade, it's the worlds largest, and is quite colourfull, even for the non-homosexuals, it's fun to be gay for a...

What's Toronto like, eh? :) Haha, thanks guys. And I thought I was blending in too :) If or when I do go up there, I'll see if I can join one of your meetings if you'd have one when I'm there, if that's alright of course.

splitting models in MAX Try using the 'slice plane' tool for editable meshes. I think that's what you are looking for :)

Camera Transformation woes :/ Thanks John, but that's actually what I just did [grin] But my proposed optimization was not very difficult at all. Your way just fits into my engine better, that's all :)

Problem with wrapping a vertex buffer (or any com object?) YES!!!! Thanks AP. I thought I tried that before, but I guess not. [smile] It's funny though, I only changed that on the Init function, and it worked. Now for the class version :)
