DirectX 90b, Fonts, FrameRate Nope your not missing anything, run a profiler on your program and you'll find that it really is that slow

Skeletal Animation I've implemented all of the above with custom vertex shaders and all, what Red Drake said is right. I started off thinking a bone was a line too, you get over that after a while [edited by - alfiare on June 9, 2004 10:02:40 AM]

New DX9 Game to try Thanks for telling me about the crash problem, not sure why but I’ll get working on it

TenKingdoms Update Version2 Yup the sword swinging only in front of you is by design for now, till i think of a better way to go about it, right now it works that you can only swing if another character is highlighted. Crouching has no effect, haven't gotten to do th...
