Hi,

I'm new at Direct3d and I got a problem with rotating polygons. I can rotate it in one axis but not two or three at the same time.
If i write that it should rotate in x and then y, then it only rotats around the y axis. 
 

Can someone set up some code or just explain what I'm doing wrong.

thanks,

I dunno since I haven't had time to get into transformations yet, but you should check the D3DIM samples out from the DX7 SDK, I'm sure you can find rotation codes there.

Here is what I do, and this works for me:

Dim WorldMatrix as D3DMATRIX
Dim Temp As D3DMATRIX 'Temp matrix to hold rotations
Dim Rot As D3DMATRIX 'Temp rotation matrix

'Modify WorldMatrix to create a translation matrix
DirectX.IdentityMatrix WorldMatrix
WorldMatrix.rc41 = X
WorldMatrix.rc42 = Y
WorldMatrix.rc43 = Z

DirectX.IdentityMatrix Rot 'Sets up the rotation matrix

'Using the left-to right order of matrix concatenation,
'apply the translation to the object's world position
'before applying the rotations.

'First, pitch
If Pitch <> 0 Then
DirectX.RotateXMatrix Temp, Pitch
DirectX.MatrixMultiply Rot, Rot, Temp
End If

'Then, yaw
If Yaw <> 0 Then
DirectX.RotateYMatrix Temp, Yaw
DirectX.MatrixMultiply Rot, Rot, Temp
End If

'Finally, roll
If Roll <> 0 Then
DirectX.RotateZMatrix Temp, Roll
DirectX.MatrixMultiply Rot, Rot, Temp
End If

'Apply the rotation matrices to the translation already in
'WorldMatrix to complete the world matrix
DirectX.MatrixMultiply WorldMatrix, Rot, WorldMatrix
Device3D.SetTransform D3DTRANSFORMSTATE_WORLD,WorldMatrix
 

In this example X, Y and Z holds the position of the object, and Roll, Picth and Yaw holds the orientation

hope this helps
