Hi,

I'm following this tutorial:
http://externalweb.exhedra.com/DirectX4VB/Tutorials/DirectX8/GR_Lesson08.asp
but it doesn't say how to load an object that isn't at the origin.

Does anyone know how to load a pre-created Direct X object at say (1,1,1)
for example?

Load the mesh, create a translation matrix and apply it, then render the
mesh.

If you look at Jack's example in the Form_Load procedure you can see
where he uses a temporary matrix to perform the rotation and scaling of
his object, you would need to use something like;

D3DXMatrixIdentity matTemp
D3DXMatrixTranslation matTemp, 1, 1, 1
D3DXMatrixMultiply matWorld, matWorld, matTemp

Hi Alfie,

Where do I stick the translation though?

I have a InitialiseGeometry function and I copied and pasted it
(InitialiseGeometry2) and applied the translation in between and it didn't
work.

I've also tried at the start and after I call D3DX.LoadMeshFromX() in the
2nd function but that too didn't work....

I'm assuming it has to be in between so that it is only applied to the one.

Cheers,

Michael
