Hi, I am new in this Direct3D
1.Shape Function in Direct3D 9 X Create Shape Function like :
D3DXCreateSphere(...) Function.
what kind of Vertex data( I mean D3DFVF_...) it would return ?
How can I know the location of the mesh in my D3D World ?

Is there any free Software to create/design a complicated Mesh and save it in X Files ?

Send me ur e-mail address, I'll send u a sample project that
I created sometime back, just for practice. It contains 2 meshes (.x files), one I picked from andi pike tutorials and other I don't know from where.

U can perform the basic transformations. Although its a bit rusty, not properly commented & many things can be optimized, but that was just a practice project.

If u dig it a little, I'm sure u can find alot what u want. (I tried to attach it with the post, but the size was too big)
