  Since there is a .x file exporter for 3D Studio Max included to DirectX SDK, I'm posting this thread here - hope there are co-martyrs on this forum. I've analysed the character samples for C++ that come with the dxsdk. If you've done the same you couldn't have missed the "tiny" character. Judging by it's .x file hierarchy, it's been made in 3dsm. The character's texture bitmap is baked (it looks like the object's been peeled off). Well, I'm havi ...Show All
