Playing Video in (Managed) Direct3D
|
Hello everybody!
It's been a long time I was doing research to use video files as textures in 3D (e.g. video billboards on the streets) and I was disappointed to see how bad AudioVideoPlayback is doing.
Then I found this great open-source proj... |

People calm down. First the engine we used is LGPL not GPL, and in it's License it clearly states that it's not needed to acknowledge the name of the engine. And we mainly used it's Architectural Design (for learning engine programming) and it's Geo-... |

About the demo, we don't have any plans to release executable demos until it's released (It's almost 700 MB), but we will release some captured videos from the game-play soon.

That border is not part of the UI, our web design team added that (maybe to make the screen-shots more pretty). But you're right, as I already said we're planning on revising the UI.

the other problem is the texturing of the terrain which has very low detail.
Hmm, The texture are very high-res (512x512) per meter, I think the problem is more about the Blur-ish post effect and the linear t... |

[mdx] Cpu usage on mesh.DrawSubset()
