   Deriving meshes from a single .X file
  Hi everyone, The model is something like a tank with several mocing parts. Fot instance a body, turret, barrel and different things. Right now I''m using seperate .X files to load the meshes from. I want to know if I'' designing with 3Dsmax, is there a way to put the body, turret and barrel in one file and then load them to seperate meshes according to the object names? thanks. 
  yes it is possible. see the SDK''s common framework classes CD3DFile, CD3DFrame, and CD3DMesh as an example of how to do this.
