Thanks Shawn, I will do that. I am a bit relieved that the "proper" solution is not something awful!

Hi all, I have implemented a mirror that renders a somewhat modified reflection. For example, a human might appear in it in different clothes. So far, I decide dynamically for each model which set of meshes to render. I do a check to see whether it is the real or reflected image, and render the appropriate set of meshes. This works fine. We ...

OK, there is a small mistake in the tutorial code. In the addPoprertySet function, pSet must be assigned to the return value of the call obj.AddPropertySet. Otherwise it is None, casusing problems where that value is used.  The correct code is below (the change is in line 5). Also note that you mistyped addPropertySet.  Sorry for this mistake; I ...

@Artimus Can you post some code so that we can see what (exact) code is giving you the problem? The error you are getting is very common [at least, I have seen it many times]. Usually it is because your object is not of the type that you think it is, sometimes because of a logical mistake, sometimes because of XSI weirdness. Because of the way XSI ...

@Matt: To confirm what jwatte is saying, some of my colleagues had some success with this on other systems, so in theory at least, it can work.@jwatte: Our sounds are very non-specific (homogeneous), so with proper blending what you suggests might work. In our case it is very hard to distingiush one part of the cue from another, so if there aren't ...

Thanks for the replies. We will probably do something like you suggest, Matt.ht

Hi AllThe project that we are working on has a playback feature where everything slows down gradually, freezes for a sec, and then speeds up gradually again. We would like the sound to do this as well, but I haven't been able to find a way. Making a variable (with XACT authoring tool) that I can control from the game engine that will modify the ...

(Edit: I have updated the document for XNA 3.0, the link points to the updated version.)(Edit 27 May 2009: Example have been updated as well, and a mistake in the tutorial code has been corrected). A tutorial (16 pages PDF), with an example level exporter, and a modified XNAViewer project that loads in a level exported with the example. ...

Alexandre Jean Claude:You are animating the effector of an IK chain and storing its animation in an action. <snip> Practically, what that means is that the safest way to store animation clips is to use the Store->Local Transformation - Animation or current values. To my frustration this does not work for us. What does work ...

@Shawn: Thanks for the link; I have heard something about using MSBuild, but couldn't really find quick how-to information. This solution seems cleaner (no code modifications), so I'll definetaly look into it.@ZMan: A real pain, but also kind of standard. Our artists already have to install Python and Pywin for Softimage plug-ins, Java runtimes ...
