Hi all, i searched a lot in internet but i didn't found a simple and basic engine to draw a big 3d scene (usually more than 3 million vertices).

The goal is to build a simple 3d editor with some basic toolw. The objects creation will be made by some 3d tools (Blender , 3d max , ecc...) then importing it into this editor.

Why create a similar 3d editor ?

with a c# source code you can add custom features don't used by other 3d editor and specify for a game mechanism.

So i build a simple scene manager to draw fast more than 8 million vertices with batch method, a simple picking method, a fix FPS function, all these to improve the performance of rendering instead used the same examples found in internet (Mesh class or Draw too many time)

I share this code and i hope that someone help me if are interested. :)

ok, 12 downloading but no replies ? no one are interested ?

It looks good. I am yet to write an exporter for 3DSMax output to my own model format (which is way underpowered) and there just doesn't seem to be a straight forward model format and pipeline available (for C#), so it's good to see other people tackling this problem, in one way or another.

But doesn't 3DSMax have a .net version of it's SDK ? So you could write your own exporter, then you don't need an extra app at all. Not that I'm against what you're doing, I think it's great. I'm just saying, it would be preferable to work in Max and just output my own model format. That's a tool (plugin) I wish was available, one that would easily allow me to output custom data formats.

But nice work.

Hi, recently i test a simple GUI for the editor projects, i test the swapchain function but i find a little issue:

When viewportpanel resize i must recreate the swapchain, resizing it work but the box displayed are grainy, but aspect ratio is correct and project matrix are updated....

Hi John!

I'm waiting for your fantastic 3d engine :)

Good luck! i will support you as i can you!

Italians do it better!

----------------------------------

added a simple 2D editor for uv map, i'm trying to use System.Drawing methods but i'm not sure is the best way... to improve the drawing i use different Layer's class

Test the Octree traversal raytracing math found here : http://iason.fav.zcu.cz/WSCG2000/Papers_2000/X31.pdf

Understanding how work was a little difficult but after using also Excel i finally create a workable viewer :)
