Hello all,
I'm having trouble in a WPF 3D application.
In my 3D viewport I have created a backdrop, with 5 images in front, displayed in a semicircle.
I have added a few lights, each of which seems to work perfectly on the backdrop.
But the images themselves are always very dark.
I uploaded the application+source. to my skydrive for your viewing discretion.
It reads images from "C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper", if you have another image folder, change line 25 in ScreensaverWindow.xaml.cs.
The application supports movement around the 3D scene if you wish to look around:
- cursors move you forward/backward and left/right
- pageup/pagedown moves the camera up and down
- mousewheel changes the camera angle
- Mouse movement makes you look left and right.
Problem recap for the TLDR peepz: Source on skydrive, 3D scene with images that don't get lit up properly.

I was developing on a win2003 OS running inside VMWARE, apparantly when hardware acceleration is enabled in VMWARE it messes up the rendering of 3D objects skinned with an image.
disabling hardware acceleration in VMWARE did the trick. Thread can be closed
