well ... that didn't work
I'm using the DxMeshToXaml command-line tool that's been making the rounds to convert a sphere that I made using Milkshape:
I then exported that to .x format, ran it through dxmeshtoxaml, and got it onto my Longhorn machine. Sadly, it was not happy:
At this point I haven't gotten around to figuring out if it was the exporter's fault, or if it was ian g's converter ... oh well
