I am having a run-in with this issue myself and have found that you can hack the model somewhat. I say hack because the reference is more like using an axe. There could be some halo effects, special effects, etc that might be causing this. I suggest trying to select only the model itself and export that. Keep in mind that what you end up ...

I managed to fix the "180 out reappearing label" problem. Since the labeled item is behind the camera, simply check the direction of the camera against the location. Vector3 center = GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Project(ship.totalbounds.Center,                                                          ...

I am using a Chase Camera with rotation around the chase target and the label on that is working fine however like the original, there is a demo too and that is the same kind of class as the model itself, only classified as an "immobile". The difference is in the way it's rendered,  if (station == false) { // ...

The later solution I find works a little better. Using the link given http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb447672.aspx I was able to get some text to "overlay" or label the 3D model however initially I found that the label was "hanging away" a bit, as if on the edge of a large sphere attached to the model. ...

It appears that when I use a matrix parameter in the Begin function DrawString is not working. In all overrided DrawString assumes a 2D position type Vector2. Are you implying that instread of drawing a string with a sprite font, to assemble a complete image and treat as a sprite?

This looks good. I had a feeling there was already something in there - I will try this today.

I am having one heck of a time trying to figure this one out, and my existing code on this matter is not working in the XNA framework. But before I "go math", I would like to know if perhaps there are things in the XNA system that I could already be using and have overlooked. What I am looking to do is simple. I have 3D models ...

Greetings. I am attempting to make a simple program using elements of ChaseCamera and Particle3D. The difference in model handling is that the model class derives from  DrawableGameComponent  and is added in the Game class, with Initialize, Draw, ect, being overrided. I put in the code from Particle3D and my "floor" ...

Greetings. I used the Chase Camera demo for a demo project at work, and wanted to improve it a little with a rotation around the model for a more variable 3rd person view. Kind of like EVE Online. It also differs a little in that it is made a part of the components and the update method is called normally from the game loop. Forgive my ...
