[Fixed] Animation problem

[rubbish]

I use the DXView to look the x file,it's good.
But why in my app,it looks like a monster?
DXVIEW:


APP:


When the horse animate in my app,it looks like a monster.When it don't move,it is good.
When I move the horse in the Tutorial_Skinning,it works.....looks good....
My app added the gui like the Ice project.
And the tiny in my app and in the Tutorial_Skinning,looks good...

Puzzle me...

Hi Rubbish,

Can you post the same image in DXView ?
I would like to see the difference.

Thanks

BTW :which sdk do u use?
I think the DXVIEW in the 2006 DEC has some problem,I can't use it to look the x file.
And 2007 SEP .it said that
The December 2006 SDK includes D3DX9_32.DLL. This DLL includes the Direct3D 10 HLSL compiler enabled for Direct3D 9 targets. This compiler supports shader models only beginning with version 2.0. The new compiler has no support for 1.x pixel shader targets.

Hey !

I think that the third image is not far from what you wants.
Have you changed something about the size of you object ? (The object that contains your mesh)

Maybe something with HasGlobalSize, Size, XSize, YSize or ZSize ?


For the SDK, Brume should work with every SDK since December 2006.
Actually I am developing with February 2007.
It seems strange that MeshViewer could not load older meshes. Can you try with this one and tell me if it works ?
The shader specifications apply only if your mesh uses shaders. Is it the case ?

Yes I changed the Size.The question is ,when I GetAnimation, it looks bad;If I don't GetAnimation ,it looks good.

Another object,has two animationset,one work,one don't work.Or it works, but the object looks like moster.Puzzle me too...

sdk:
2007 DEC : the meshviewer ,the download page of 2007 dec said it The new compiler has no support for 1.x pixel shader targets,I think my graphic card too old...so I choose the option of meshviewer ->debug pixel shaders,I can see the mesh .
2006 Sep : I think this version has some problem ,I can't open the meshview - -!

[Silmaryls]

If you wants you can send me your project with the mesh and I will check it out.

I found something strange,it seems to be the objects interfere each other.

Here is the project

What's the reason?The XFile?The model?Or the app??

Hi Rubbish !

I think I see your problem...Can you try to change the animation names in all your meshes to make them unique ?

I thing that there is a conflict as you are always using the same names (walk, wave, ...)
The BrumeAnimationManager stores animations using their names. And it does not store them twice (it would be impossible to retrieve animations with same names).
So what happens is that when you add walk animation for mesh1 and then walk animation for mesh2, The second walk will be kept by the manager.
Then when you assign the walk animation to mesh1 in your game, in fact you are using the walk of mesh2 ! This is what makes your mesh a monster because the skeletons are not the same (even if some bones have same names).

In next release I will add a new method with a prefix parameter so that you could be able to distinguish the animations without modifying the meshes.

Yes, I think the bones have same names ,so that happen the problem.
The similar problem happen in the Microsoft 3D game tutorials I think.
Let me try,thankyou ,Silmaryls.
Make a perfect animation system is not easy.Thankyou.

Great,everything looks good!

[Silmaryls]

Happy to hear that !

Code: Select all

         BrumeXMesh Bear01Mesh = new BrumeXMesh(this, "Bear01", "Bear.x", false);
         Bear01 = new BrumeLightedObject(this, "Bear01");
         Bear01.Mesh = Bear01Mesh;
         Bear01.Size = 0f;
         BrumeAnimationManager.AddAnimationsFromMesh(Bear01Mesh);
         Bear01.Animation = BrumeAnimationManager.GetAnimation("BearWalk");

         BrumeXMesh Bear02Mesh = new BrumeXMesh(this, "Bear02", "Bear.x", false);
         Bear02 = new BrumeLightedObject(this, "Bear02");
         Bear02.Mesh = Bear02Mesh;
         Bear02.Size = 0f;
         BrumeAnimationManager.AddAnimationsFromMesh(Bear02Mesh);
         Bear02.Animation = BrumeAnimationManager.GetAnimation("BearWalk");

         BrumeXMesh Bear03Mesh = new BrumeXMesh(this, "Bear03", "Bear.x", false);
         Bear03 = new BrumeLightedObject(this, "Bear03");
         Bear03.Mesh = Bear03Mesh;
         Bear03.Size = 0f;
         BrumeAnimationManager.AddAnimationsFromMesh(Bear03Mesh);
         Bear03.Animation = BrumeAnimationManager.GetAnimation("BearWalk");


As u can see,I make three bears,and there are only two animationset "BearWalk" & "BearWave" in the XFile.

The result is that, Bear01 worked,Bear02 & 03 didn't worked.

[Silmaryls]

Well first of all : how can you make something visible with Size = 0 ?

Seems strange to me....


But I managed to reproduce the problem with the old sample you send me last time.
The bug is due to the cache I placed recently in BrumeAnimationManager for better performance. I think It was too strong

I Fixed the problem for next release.
I builded two dlls if you want to continue on your game :

release : http://chrisk.free.fr/brume_files/preRelease/Brume.dll
debug : http://chrisk.free.fr/brume_files/preRe ... eDebug.dll

[rubbish]

HEHE So sorry , I forgot to modify the code....

YEAH Wait for the next release

I think I have the same problem : did you correct it in the last relaese ?
