I'm using DirectX to Assign Skin Meshes to a model I'm working on, but the compiler is giving me a strange error.

Here is the SDK information on the COM Interface:

ID3DXSkinMesh::UpdateSkinnedMesh
Updates a skin mesh.

HRESULT UpdateSkinnedMesh(
CONST D3DXMATRIX* pBoneTransforms,
LPD3DXMESH pMesh
);

Parameters
pBoneTransforms
[in] Pointer to an array of D3DXMATRIX structures, representing the new bone transforms. The length of this array is the count of all the bones in the skin mesh.
pMesh
[out, retval] Pointer to an ID3DXMesh interface, representing the updated skinned mesh.
Return Values
If the method succeeds, the return value is D3D_OK.

If the method fails, the return value can be D3DERR_INVALIDCALL.

Remarks
This method updates the vertices blended with the new bone transforms.

Requirements
Header: Declared in D3dx8mesh.h.
Import Library: Use D3dx8.lib.

See Also
ID3DXSkinMesh::GenerateSkinnedMesh

Now here is my code and the resulting compiler error:

SkinMesh->UpdateSkinnedMesh(Matrix, Mesh->PropMesh);

(SkinMesh is a LPD3DXSKINMESH pointer, PropMesh is the LPD3DXMESH pointer I want returned to my Mesh Structure)

The Compiler tells me the function doesn't take 2 parameters!! What's up with this?!?

error C2660: 'ID3DXSkinMesh::UpdateSkinnedMesh' : function does not take 2 parameters

Can anyone help me with this? I'm at a loss.

Thanks in advance and God Bless!

With DirectX 8.1 The UpdateSkinnedMesh function requires THREE parameters:

HRESULT UpdateSkinnedMesh(
CONST D3DXMATRIX* pBoneTransforms,
NULL,
LPD3DXMESH pMesh
);

They probably added the NULL as some future COM hook/parameter return function yet to be added.

Anyways, that solved the problem. I just wish they'd update the SDK help files more often!

God Bless and take care. Hope this helps anyone else who might encounter a similar problem.
