3D World problem and comments...

[Firejack]

I've got a few more problems with this 3D world thing. I was about to describe the problem but it's probably better if I post some code so you can see the problem working all by its little self...

Oh dear. I've only got the compiled thing cos I'm at Uni. I'll post it anyway.

Right. Read this before you run the EXE:

1) This program is not complete by any stretch of the imagination. It works on our computers at home and so we're assuming it's going to work on yours. If it doesn't, tell me how far it got and I'll try to fix it.

WHAT IS IT? It's a little project I dreamt up. Ezekiel (Bible guy) wrote about a temple. Hardly anyone has ever tried to sort out what the temple looked like, so I'm trying to do the ultimate 3D construction of it . If you fancy trying to work out what it looked like it's Ezekiel 40 to the end.

2) It works (just) .

To Zaei: The camera relativity thing was pretty easy actually - used D3DXTransformNormal (or something) to transform the where-you-are vector by a matrix describing your position. Result is a new RELATIVE position. Then there's a Quaternion to describe Yaw/Pitch/Roll.

3) Controls:
Arrow Key Up = Forward
Arrow Key Down = Backward
Arrow Key Left = Strafe Left
Arrow Key Right = Strafe Right

Mouse = Look Around

4)a) Setup: Run the program, go to setup.
b) Choose Video/Customize
c) Set up graphics options, hit apply. OK it and then run the app.
d) The above saves the graphics options to the registry, otherwise the main program bombs out...bit of a bug, I know.
e) You start off inside a hill. Ooops.
f) To get out of the hill, look upwards toward the green about 30 degrees (using the mouse). Move forward for quite a long way, and then turn around.


THE PROBLEM:
Move along the sides of the mountain, down by the rivers, looking at the mountain. It kind of 'peels' away. I'm guessing dodgy file converter (3DS to .x, using conv3ds.exe). Any ideas on how to fix it???

Help.

PANTS! How can I post something more than 100000 Bytes?

But then you hate it when they prevent you accessing it from anywhere else.

ARGH!

Did you increase your far clip plane? Try turning poly culling off. Just throwing some stuff out here.

Post a screen shot of the problem. I wont have time to take a look at it otherwise, and it will certainly help a lot.
