Hey everyone,

I'm trying to load a model in a custom processor I built. I've tried to use the same pattern i've seen everywhere for loading textures.  This is the basic line of code I'm using:

Model = new ExternalReference<ModelContent>(input.Name + ".fbx");

When I run my game everything seems fine but when I check to make sure the model is there all I have is nulls.  Can someone point me in the right direction, because I can't find a single example of loading a model like this anywhere.

Thanks,

My guess is that either you're referencing to the incorrect path or you didn't tell the CP to build the "external" model.

// Take into account that you must set the build acyion to none so as to avoid creating 2 ".xnb" files.
ModelProcessor myModelContent = context.BuildAsset<ModelContent, ModelContent> (new ExternalReference<ModelContent>(input.Name + ".fbx"), typeof(ModelProcessor).Name); 

For the latter use, base on your code, something like: For the former, read this thread: http://forums.xna.com/thread/5274.aspx
