  I've come to the point in my 3D application where, I have created all basic 3D stuff and rendering 3D primitives with textures. It is time to import .x files and render them.

  Interested in searching the index using standard DB queries   It's easy, but I can't find much documentation on it anywhere (please correct me if I'm just missing it).  After searching a lot, I discovered/guessed the connection string and can successfully query the new index.  Very fast, very nice!  I posted about it on my blog ( http://www.ariankulp.com/archive/2006/06/14/1315.aspx ), but basically, your connection string sh ...Show All
