VB Animated Meshes example

[fengol]

Hi,

 

Do any have an example of, or a link to a good Animated Meshes Example for VB.NET? If it can include documentation on what's actually happening I would appriciate it.

 

I've found only one so far and it doesn't work.

 

Regards,

Depends on the type of annimated mesh i guess.

I have a working Skinning mesh in VB. The Documentation is on RobyDx's Site although ive had some problems rendering other objects after the skinning mesh.

Like the Sample Mesh Viewer, I want to load a mesh and pick from the animations. I'm currently trying to use the Tiny mesh that comes with the Summer Update.

 

I don't quite understand the idea of Skinning mesh, unless you mean allowing the mesh to control it's own textures.

 

I've only be working with DirectX for a couple of weeks. I'm putting what I've learnt on http://dotnet.org.za/mailowl/

 

RodyDx is not in english. Is it easy to understand?

If you'd like to know what skinned meshes are about you can check this article: http://www.3dlevel.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1250#1250

 

It has some theory explained and setting up skinned meshes in VB.NET (rendering is not explained, but is in the attached project; it's for original DirectX9 (not Summer Update 2003)).
