Evidyon
|
These are images from Evidyon, a fast-paced 3d isometric online role-playing game I programmed over the last few years. My brother Erich created almost all of the custom meshes for the game, and our friend Joe Muller was the main source of insp... |

Hi everyone,
My name is Karl Gluck, and I have spent the last 10 years learning to program video games--and I owe a lot to GameDev.Net for providing great articles from which to learn along the way.
It's my turn to give back: I have decided to... |

Straightforward C++ = ASM optimization question
|
void do_something(const double variable) { ... }
void call_do_something() {
double dummy;
do_something(dummy);
}
Does specifying "const" cause the compiler to avoid the normal assembler push/pop of 'dummy' that happens when invoking do_s... |

Bug: Lit, skinned animation with indexed vertex blending

I would consider this an advanced topic.
It might be a long shot, but I'd like to see if anyone else has encountered this bug.
I am using the FF pipeline because I want this code to run on old hardware.
I am using indexed blended vertex... |

Single-Pass Multitexturing
|
Hey guys. I know this topic has been addressed before, but the search is being dumb (sql timeout after blah blah seconds...etc) and I can't find any resources on it.
Story is, I'm doing multitexturing in C++ using Direct3D 9.0c and I can't... |

Human Female Models...

Hey all,
We're having a tough time deciding which model shows more promise, and should therefore be worked on, between these two. One of them is anatomically correct, and the other is stylized. It's a bit of a heated debate so if you co... |

Is Winsock thread-safe?
|
I remember reading somewhere that the basic Winsock 2 functions (not those Microsoft WSA-whatevers) are not thread safe. This doesn't make sense though, because Winsock 2 is a DLL file, and to be able to be accessed by multiple programs it must be a... |

Teaching Tips?

I'm considering teaching an extracurricular class next year next year consisting of C++ with an emphasis on game programming with DirectX.
The people learning would have a general knowledge of how to use C++ and the compiler, but would be com... |

VC6's inline assembler...

Hey folks,
I was just wondering if anyone's found a comprehensive reference of all of the assembler operations supported by MSVC++ 6, along with a description of them. The help files that come with it are pretty much worthless and my numerous goo... |

Bug: Lit, skinned animation with indexed vertex blending
|
Ah! PIX, of course!
I ran a very simple test scene through PIX, and thanks to your help I think I'm getting closer to an answer.
There are 21 bone matrices in this mesh. Splitting up the draw calls into sets of 16 polygons, I traced backward... |

Bug: Lit, skinned animation with indexed vertex blending

Thank you for your replies.
As I said, there is nothing unusual being output from the debug runtime; just the usual occasional warning that a state change is being ignored because it is already set.
Thanks for the tip J-Fox; however, I tried sp... |

will directX take an animated mesh with a 3DS biped in it?
|
Simple answer, no it won't work. There aren't any exporters I know of that export biped animations correctly to .X format; you just need to rig and use FK the character normally. |

storing character data in a (M)MORPG

Graveyard--
I don't think anyone mentioned this befure, but I wanted to let you know that using a MySQL database in your game either requires the entire game to be open source, or for you to purchase a license. |

MultiAnim sdk sample and the "Wave" anim

To answer your question as it is phrased, there isn't a way NOT to. All aniumation controllers HAVE to share their frame hierarchy.
To answer what I think you're trying to ask (how to get multiple animations to affect a single body), there is. L... |

Human Female Models...

Yeah it would probably help to know the style. This is meant for a role-playing game, so think of this as your standard adventurer off for a quest in the woods. |
