Irrlicht Engine

Every time I export my max file from 3ds to a .x file using panda exporter my colors fail to load using directx as my driver in irrlicht.

Are you using any textures?

My scene does contain textures. I use irredit to import a static mesh node(a .x file). Irredit apparently uses dx to render in its window because it does not show colors in the editor as well. However if I use openGL as my renderer in my exe the colors and textures work.
