Drawing a Sprite in a 3D World
Author
Hey there,
Been searching all day wondering how to do the following, hopefully some one can help me.
I’m using a direct X .x file to load in a mesh as my terrain for a playing field in my game. The game is a 2d side scrolling shooter with a 3D walking area to give it some depth and I need at least one 3d object in the game to get marks for that portion.
When I press left and right keys the sprite will move as well as the camera which points at the 3d mesh. My Problem is that sprites are using screen space coordinates and I need them to be using world space coordinates so I can do collision detection and move them with the camera without them running off the screen.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Here is what I’m looking for. for the sprite to follow the camera as i move pan on the x and y of the terrain.

You could look into the sprite flags. They give you the ability to place the sprite in object space, this means that the current transformation matrices set on the device will be used to do the transformations on the sprite.
SpriteFlags.ObjectSpace
Specifies no modification of the world, view, and projection transforms. The transforms currently set to the device are used to transform sprites when the batched sprites are drawn (that is, when Sprite.Flush or Sprite.End is called). If this option is not specified, the world, view, and projection transforms are modified so that sprites are drawn in screen-space coordinates.
I hope this helps.
Take care.

Hey there. That worked.
But i ran into another problem, Its that its massive, i need to scale it down to 0.01f to make it look normal, any idea why this is? and its upside down.
here is some code not scaled
heres the pic

Am i missing something still?

I understand why its so large its due the size of the texture in pixels is getting converted to world space cordinates.
Anyone know how to fix this problem now?

You could solve this in a number of ways and one or 2 ways would be to reduce the texture to the correct size or to introduce a scaling transformation matrix.
i.e.
I hope this helps.
Take care.
i.e.
Device.Transform.World = Matrix.Scaling(0.2f, 0.2f, 0.2f) * Matrix.Translation(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);using(Sprite sprite = new Sprite(renderer.Device)){ sprite.Begin(SpriteFlags.ObjectSpace); sprite.Draw(texture, new Vector3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f), new Vector3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f), Color.White.ToArgb()); sprite.End();}I hope this helps.
Take care.
waterboy4800, I've wrapped your code in source tags. Please read this thread, the GDNet Forums FAQ and the Forum FAQ.
