File Sharing Presentation

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.

             model.Translation = new Vector3(model.Translation.X + 0.05f, model.Translation.Y, model.Translation.Z);

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;
