   Mesh and Vertex Shader
  How do people normally go about rendering their meshes from .X files. Do they use the method like the example in the SDK. Using Draw Subsets etc.Or read in the file and get all the information out, and use a vertex shader to draw them?   
  IIRC, you can actually do both.  Since DrawSubset() only sets states such as vertex declaration and buffer streams, you can still use your own vertex and pixel shaders with it.  For example, if you are using the effects framework, something like this:// Set the techniqueeffect->SetTechnique( "myTechnique" );// ActivateUINT numPasses = 0;effect->Begin( &numPasses, 0 );// Render each passfor( int i = 0; i < numPasses; i++ ){   // Set your constants and stuff   effect->SetValue(...);   // Activate pass   effect->BeginPass(i);   ...   // Draw the subset   mesh->DrawSubset(0);   effect->EndPass();}effect->End();Something along those lines should work pretty well.   ;  oh ok i got your idea, thanks alot
