cull modes?

"Does this have to do with the way my vertexes are specified within my vertex buffer??"

Agree so if your x-axis in model space are flipped then flip it back..
by putting -ve

Yes putting CULL mode to NULL does this, the only reason you should use CULL_CW or CULL_CCW is that the engine generally works alot faster as it is only checking for one side of your polygons and not two. I.e. if you created a square plane and used CULL_CW you would only see one side. Thats why sometimes, if you cant see your polygon on the screen try spinning the world around the y axis 180 degs, or moving the camera to point back on itself.

Thanks MatthewEva!

I just don''t remember ever needing to wonder why on earth my +ive x values were heading in the -ive screen positions, until I started fooling around with Cullmode...(before I never bothered with it and relied on the default setting)

Just want to make sure I''m understanding what''s happening, and I think I am now...thanks!
