I have a DirectX10 + C++ problem.
Basically we're at the early stages of rendering, and for some reason our depth stencil seems to be failing to understand our model. Basically, here is everything we are doing:
The model, shader and texture all load and work correctly, however (as shown in the screenshot below), the depth stencil is clearly not doing its job and the shader is being used in the wrong places. I have also included our initialization method in case you need it to figure it out. We believe we have tried almost everything but knowing our luck we have probably missed out 1 line of important code ^.^
We also saw that someone else had the same problem, however their fix didn't work (their problem was that they had set the near clipping plane to 0.0, however ours is not 0.0 so that is not the problem)
Thanks in advance!

}I fixed it, thanks to catflier's nod in the right direction. Turns out I was actually releasing the rasterizer state too early for the depth stencil to be used.
I'll leave this answer here for anyone who has the same problem.
