bounding box / sphere

D3DXComputeBoundingBox(..)

thanks ,
but i have another problem with that. i had done some looking round and had found that function. that requires me to send it a vertex buffer. that i can retreve from a ID3DXMesh object(corect me if im wrong on that). by pMesh->LockVertexBffer(D3DLOCK_READONLY,(BYTE**)&Ptr) giving me the pointer to the vertex buffer. (well as far as i am awre it dous)

but i am not useing ID3DXMesh i am using LPD3DXMESH for the mesh object. am i able to use the -> functions from the ID3DXMesh on the LPD3DXMESH. and if not is there a way of converting it to a ID from an LP.

thanks

The are the same thing. One is just defined as a pointer.

yes that is true.

and if any one else had been reading it is posible and it was as usual my own fault why i had a problem. lol

i have retreved the data from the mesh with no problem once i hade sorted out what was mesing my system up.


thanks all

Yup, from the D3DX header:

typedef ID3DXMesh *LPD3DXMESH;
