« on: December 18, 2008, 01:34:24 AM »

What kind of deformation?  I've been some deformation problems due to the Panda exporter options. Check this post: http://forum.dead-code.org/index.php?topic=3280.0

Technical forum / Problem with 3D actor volume

« on: December 06, 2008, 02:21:06 AM »

I don't know that has happened, but in any moment my actor has lost the volume. In the preview is perfect, but when I put the actor in the scene the actor lost the volume and this is plain (don`t has any shadow). If I put the actor in the demo3d instead of trinity, the actor get the volume again.

Any idea?

Works fine. The problem has been the incorrect SetLigthPosition values.

Thanks.

OK. Now, I understand why Trinity, Victor and DoctorX has the correct shadows. Our actor size is about 10 times greather than others. When I use victor or trinity, I change the scale to 100 or 120%, but when I use my own model, the scale is about 15%, but I don't change the values for actor.SetLightPosition method  in the scene script.

I will make a test tomorrow (today is too late in Spain

Thank you very much.

Sorry, the shadow works ok with the geometry. The unique problem is that the shadow not is corresponding with the actor

Thanks Mnemonic. If I choose "None" in the "Optimze mesh" option, the non existent vertex disappear, but the the problem with the shadow an the geometry continues.

I have a new problem with my actor. Whe I use this in the game, wintermute show several vertex that don't exist in the mesh (I've checked this several times), and the shadow use this non existent vertex. Additionally, the shadow don´t respect the geometry. but the .3ds file is correct.

I've checked the model with several programs and the visualization is good, the model can see correct with fragMOTION and Deep exploration and don´t see correct with the DirectX viewer, but I think that this isn´t a problem, becouse several models of the Panda webpage and Trinity, cannot see ok with the DirectX viewer, (the actor "Victor" can see OK with this viewer)

I attach images of the model in  MAX, FragMOTION and  Deep Exploration, and a image of the model in the game.

The model in fragMOTION, Deep Exploration and 3DS MAX




The model in the wintermute game. You can see the non existent vertex and the bad shadow, and that the shadow don´t use the geometry.



When you can see, the geometry work OK with the actor Victor

Technical forum / Problem with .x animation speed

« on: December 01, 2008, 12:56:36 AM »

Hello,

I've started a  new game in 2.5D. I've borrowed the "Victor" 3d actor from the 3d Techstdemo by DREAMWEB. Recently I,ve made my own actor in .x format using 3ds MAX and Panda Exporter. I see the .x model very good in some applications like Deep Exploration or DirectX Viewer from DirectX SDK, but whe I use the .x model in Wintermute, the animation, that has 45 second of duration (it's a movement test), is displayed by Wintermute in one second. I've revised the export parameters, but they are OK, and the animation works good in other programs, but not in Wintermute.

Does anybody has any idea?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I've started recently with WIntermute, and now i'm going to start my first game using the 2.5 system. The wintermute engine works very good in 2D, but, when i will to start with 2.5 I found several problems (thsi problem probaly aren't of the engine). Im going to star some threads in the Technical forum to explain the problems that I found.

Regards,
