Shrinking a .x file using transform.world
Author
real easy question..
my .x file seems to be way too huge.. besides shrinking it in the 3d program how can I shrink it?
something like
dev.Transform.World = this.TransformMatrix();
and then shrink it somehow
//dev.Transform.World.Scale(0.0f,0.0f,-3.0f);

It''s not a picture. Scale has no effect on size. Either cut down the vertices and animations or make sure you haven''t saved it in ASCII mode.
I don''t think he meant file size - he means the scale. Other than using a scaling transformation, you can directly modify the vertex coordinates inside the vertex buffers.

but the vertex buffer contains the .x file information. so how would I go about changing it..
i just thought there was a easy way
anyways looking forward to your book
I was hoping to use C# but with c++ still being dominant I guess Ill go back to c++ for awhile

hey angry, you still using TV or not? sounds like youre rolling your own this time. Best of Luck. as to your question, i take it you dont want to use the D3DScale function with the scalar matrix. why? Next, are you trying to access the VB that your .x file creates and perform a scale there? I dont get it.

i dont care about the vertex buffer,, just wanted to shrink the mesh so it wasnt huge
Im still jumping around look at engines while making this little C#.Net/ODE bowling game to keep me busy
with all the different licenses I get confused which is the one I should pick.. All I am doing is making games as a hobby.. not profit

You are limited to these options:
* Changing the size in your 3D modeler.
* Manually editing the .X file to change coordinate info.
* Using a scaling transformation matrix.
* Modifying the data in the vertex buffer.
If you don''t want to mess with the vertex buffer or scaling matrix, then you have only two other options left. I would suggest writing a function that takes your mesh and a transformation matrix as input, and as the output you get a mesh that contains the vertex data transformed using the matrix you provided. This way, you can do whatever you want to the mesh, position, rotate, scale...

yeh and it all comes back to not really understanding matrices.. and if i don''t understand that .. not much I can do
* Using a scaling transformation matrix.
I think that is what I was trying to do
maybe I should go buy your books now and learn
