Hi guys, You may remember I posted about 10 days ago about loading 3D Studio Max files. I still haven''t resolved the problem, and I don''t think I''ve even isolated it I have another program (3D Exploration shareware) that can read the model and output the data to a CPP file, so I can see what the data is. When I try and read the data myself though, particularly the Face chunk, I can read in the first 9 faces data correctly, and then the numbers go thru the roof. I''m getting values of about 46000, when it''s a simple 2 object model. Now I''m pretty sure the file isn''t corrupt, because 3D exploration can read the model correctly. I had another problem earlier where I wasn''t allocating enough memory for my array for the vertices, and this seemed to alter the data I was reading from the file. Is this possible? And is it possible that I have another memory/other bug that is in no way related to the problem I''m getting? I really can''t see where in my code I go wrong. I scan the file first to find out how much space I need for vertices and faces, and then I go back thru the file and read the data in, and the data is corrupted half way thru. If anyone can give me a suggestion, I''d appreciate it greatly. Thanks $£¥ We scratch our eternal itch A twentieth century bitch We are grateful for Our Iron Lung
