• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Animation Component Released

  I've released the alpha version of my animation component.  It should work on both unskinned and skinned meshes, but currently requires shader 2.0 because of the skinning support (this will be changed in the future). Here is the link: http://www.codeplex.com/animationcomponents If you download it and try it on a model and it doesn't work (for now, I'm only referring to matrix key animations), please post on the website forums!!  I'll help you get it to work, and if it's a bug, I'll fix it :) I've included a sample of how to use it to play a skinned animation in the User Forum. Non matrix keys will be implemented in the short future... And if you downloaded the DLL shortly after it was put up, I uploaded the wrong DLL so non skin ...Show All

• SQL Server Pointing an Analysis Services project at a different database

  Hello, Apologies once again for being new to Analysis Services. I am very grateful for the help that I have received from this forum in the past. The scenario is that a number of cubes have been built from a number of datasource views that point to a particular database. These datasource views contain a significant number of named queries. The views are structured to resemble star schemas, but the database behind them is an OLTP database, not a data warehouse proper. This database is the development database for the software product sold by my company. I am trying to rebuild my cubes and dimensions based on another database (a customer database). This has identical structure but different data from the development database. I hav ...Show All
