G3D object display problem

Hi all, throwing this out here in hopes maybe someone can point out what I am doing wrong.

I added an object to example 3. Its a ball I made in Maya and I added a sand texture to it.

I exported the ball to an .x file, then used the x2g3d converter to make the object a .g3d object.

I loaded the object in the G3D viewer and all looks good. I add in the code needed to display the object in the example 3 of the RE sdk. I basically copied the Box settings and changed names to ball. I also repositioned it.

I created a folder for the ball.g3d and included the texture file there.

When I run it, I see no ball, but if I only change the .g3d file in the source, say to the box, A box appears on the screen where i expect the ball to appear.

Ball->Create ("Ball\ball.g3d");

to

Ball->Create ("Box\box.g3d");

So I know I have the Allocation, Initialize, render, manipulate and update all satisfied.

Any help would be appreciated, I can email the .g3d file and texture to any who want to try it for themselves.

Thanks
