computetangentframe gives "error in the application" all the time...

Hi,

I'm trying to generate the binormals/tangents for a .x mesh using the
ComputeTangentFrame method. I have cloned my mesh to use my own vertex
format that includes the binormal and tangent (are there any rules
specifying where in the declaration they should be?) but all I get is
an "error in the application". I tried debugging using the debug mode
and debugview.exe but it does not return any message in the console.

I have also tried creating a box (using Mesh.Box) and then cloning
that to use my vertex format, and then using ComputeTangentFrame on
that but still the same issue.

Is the method buggy or is it something to do with my vertex
declaration (reproduced below)?

Cheers,

Richy

Sorry to say this but it looks like this forum is pretty much dead.
I'm waiting second or third week for help and no one knows the answer
(which bad) or no one is willing to share the answer (which is worse).
Either way, try to look somewhere else. Good luck!

Yeah this is a bit of a graveyard, isn't it?

If you find anywhere decent where you can get a reply within 24-48
hours, let me know :)
