I try to draw a spline in the HANDLES pass, using BaseDraw::DrawObject, but nothing is showing up. The result of DrawObject ir TRUE, so I guess it should have worked.

Anything I have to be aware of?

Thanks for any help!

Greetings,
Jack

You have to pass an LineObject instead of a SplineObject. Also since the spline was probably a primitive it does not exist in a draw pipeline yet. You better use GenerateSplinePrimitive(). See attached code of the modified AtomObject example.

Thanks! That sure looks like a good tip, should be included in the SDK.

Unfortunately, still nothing is drawn :-(

Anyway, I guess I have done something else wrong. Will work on this some more.

Thanks again ;-)
