Thanks for the help.

So there's no "native" animator which'll fly the object around any axis except the Y?

Hi guys,

Please help me, I'm using CreateFlyCircleAnimator but I'd like to the object to "fly" around a different axis. It always rotates around the Y-axis and I've tried changing the rotation of the scenenode but that changes the object itself on the path.

I'm also having a problem with OctTrees and dynamic lighting (I know this doesn't answer your question, sorry)

actually, that's not a bad idea! simple yet effective.

Is it possible to have animated billboards?

Hey Guys (and now for my second question), How do I create glows and halos? I'd like to put an eldritch or holy glow around a mesh. Must I use a shader or is there some other way? I'm been trying to make circles that are blurred and then adding them as textures to the mesh but I want the glow to ext...

Hi Guys,

Like in an RTS I'd like to render a circle around the base of a mesh when the user selects it. I've tried a billboard but they don't do the job. Would a decal work? And if so can someone point me in the direction of an example?

Well, the AddTerrainSceneNode only accepts a height map picture so if you have a height map in another format you'll have to use something different (like load it as a mesh or something). For a really huge map I have a couple of ITerrainSceneNodes positioned next to each other. Remember that at the ...

Unfortunately it's just a timing/speed issue and you'll have to play with the speed of the animation.

But you can make sure you've enabled Vsync which could smooth things out (read this article Unraveling the mystery of VSYNC about why)

Hi everyone, It might just be me but I can't the environment in Tutorial 8 to be as dark as the C++ example. In a desperate attempt I loaded up Zitzu's (BTW, Thanks alot for your conversions) tutorial and I see it's just as light. I've also noticed that SpecialFX.exe asks the question about realtime...

Keep on doing what you're doing. Read tutorials and practice (it's not enough to simply read).

Then make games. Even simpler text-based games are a great start.

Practice, Practice, Practice!

You'll need an IEventReceiver to capture the keyboard input. Cast your object as IAnimatedMeshSceneNode and use AnimationSpeed to make the model walk. (IE set the speed to 0 by default and when the user presses a key set the AnimationSpeed to whatever it needs to be.). Lastly you can use SetFrameLoo...

How do you reset the normals cause I'm having the same problem?

I'm not sure what RotateXYBy is supposed to do but if you want to rotate the whole model you can just use

'------
node.Rotation = new Vector3D(x, y, z)
'------

where x, y and z are the degrees you want to rotate on that axis

You can only have one viewport set at a time. So unless you want to have 4 different windows looking at a scene (I'm not sure how you'd do that, I'll have to play around) you simply have 4 rects and apply the right when when the user selects the view.
