I'm now working on statics, to have a world cel working with the character (wolf) and houses. I want to take trace of development steps, and post useul inf...

Here I am! The problem actually was simmetry skeleton! My programmer was right (public congrats to him :wink: ) Let's go with a step-by-step tutorial: 1- Model a single mesh. Be sure all vertices are well-merged (in some XSI versions like 4.2 or newer you can see them as blue lines when in poligon m...

Control panel -> screen proprieties -> aspect In the bottom part of that panel you can set the font size for windows. In XSI y...

Oh yes I hate XSI is so closed! :evil: Anyway, I have news! I had a briefing with my graphic programmer and we tried to build a skeleton without "simmetrize skeleton" option. I usually use it to save time when creating bones for arms or legs, but the resulting bones may have something bad ...

Many thanks guys!

XSI 4.0 and 4.2 are about the same.
I'll post a link to the mesh file as soon as I come back home.
BTW, feel free to use it if you wish, it's my own mesh and I decided to deliver it for free in exchange of any help exporting it. :D

Definitely from xsi to x

Hello everyone! I'm still testing directx export from softimage xsi (4.2 to be precise). This is where I got stuck: I have a simple wolf mesh, but the exported x file comes messed up. I found out that it comes just after the animation operator (envelope) is set. The hierarchy is simple as this: mode...

Solution:

- use non-realtime shaders to preview textures in XSI.

- Models and textures are set up and exported.

- Programmers will set up a quick editor to let me set Irrlicht shaders on .X models.

I'll let you know how it goes!
:wink:

Ok, maybe I got the point: When I use the .X exporter, it works alright but XSI registers a warning: 'WARNING : 3000 - Missing OpenGL extension ( ARB_Shadow ) - realtime shadow maps will not be available I can figure out I'm missing some OpenGL library... is it my graphic card? its drivers? XSI rela...

XSI vs Irrlicht shaders

Hi there! :D I'm new to Irrlicht but not to 3D graphic and animation (which is my actual job). I'm very happy about Irrlicht, I just have some doubt left about shaders: - I use XSI and set up nodes of shader passes (alpha transparency, alpha masking on specular, and such things...). - Obviously, Irr...
