I've been working on this ring hammer, and I can't get the "reflect" submesh to import to FE. I've made sure the origin of the hilt is (0,0,0) and I applied scale and rotation data, neither objects have a special material and both submeshes are named differently and do not include sword or dword or anything like that as far as I know, and I've looked through the .x file for problems, and haven't found any.

Perhaps another directX savvy person could look into it for me? Maybe with a text editor or 3ds? It will be well appreciated if someone found the problem.

Sorry, the .x file's too big to just upload

This is what it should look like when it's done, but with electricity in the rings:

I can't remember the exact details, but I know that FE has problems with too many vertices too close together and it will just ignore a submesh like that. But the vertex count would have to exceed 65K for that to happen... and that's a lot, especially for a weapon. Judging by the file size, I think that might be what's going on, so I'd definitely recommend using less vertices. See if you can get roughly the same quality with about 15K vertices, there might be a negligible difference in quality, but it will work in FE and won't lag Fable.

86K verts for the mesh! Yikes. This is a game, not a CG movie. Smile

Busy!

Probably. Those should probably just have 5 or 6 vertices in... thickness and 8 from the top. Confused You know. I don't know what they're called. Laughing But on the other hand, you want the reflect thing, so...

Busy!
