Today I had a presentation to give on Case Studies for File Sharing incidents. To make the presentation interesting I thought I’d try out my Rough Edges Editor and see how well it performed in a real world scenario.

Overall it went pretty well but there are big things I wish I would have done and/or not done in the engine. It taught me a lot of things to look for and to change the next time I take a stab at a 3D engine.

Just finished my xna7day competition entry.

That Jack, he keeps on running off and George has to keep on catching him!

if (tracking.Selected)
{
        REAnimModel model = tracking as REAnimModel;
        if (model != null && model.Track != "Walk")
             model.Track = "Walk";
             model.Translation = new Vector3(model.Translation.X + 0.05f, model.Translation.Y, model.Translation.Z);
}  else  {
         REAnimModel model = tracking as REAnimModel;
         if (model != null && model.Track != "Loiter")
             model.Track = "Loiter";
}

Code Needed :

Initialize

MoveableCamera cam = new MoveableCamera();
cam.CollideWithTerrain = true;
cam.LockToTerrain = true;
cam.HeightAboveGround = 4.5F;

string rootDir = Directory.GetParent(Application.ExecutablePath).Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.FullName + "\\Resources\\";
XmlTextReader doc = new XmlTextReader(@"C:\Rough Edges\AnimatedModelTest2.rel");
AssetManager assetManager = new AssetManager(Services, rootDir);
Helper.LoadContent(assetManager, rootDir);

scene = REScene.ReadXML(doc, assetManager, GraphicsDevice);
scene.Camera = cam;

Update

scene.Update(gameTime, GraphicsDevice);
