D3DXCreateSphere

Well...I find it quite self explanatory. You would, however, use it as follows:

Params
1) pDevice is a valid device
2) Radius is the radius of the sphere in world units
3 + 4) These are how fine you want the sphere to be, mess with it to find the params you want
5) you pass a pointer to a pointer to a D3D mesh in here, which is loaded with the sphere data. Check out the format, theres a function to retrieve a vertex buffer (i can''t recall it right now)
6) this is an adjacency buffer (you should be able to pass NULL). this is a buffer filled with information regarding which polys are next to what other polys, which is useful for shadowing or dynamic LOD

Hope that helps! Enjoy

Thanks ctoan!

I can understand that much now.. read the MSDN articles..

But could you give an example

CreateSphere(*device ,2,4,4, *apointer,0);

Just want to create a simple ball to appear ...

Then i will move it about a bit

Thanks
