• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do you implement Fog into a scene?

  Hi All, I have finally got some 3D up and running so things are whizzing about (which is always fun to watch... for a while, yeah I know, small things...) and I was wondering if anyone had any examples of putting fog into a scene. I tried last night and succeeded in turning all my meshes to white, not matter how far away they were from the camera. No matter what I did to the values, nothing changed. As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers The BasicEffect FogColor property is a Vector3, so it ranges from 0,0,0 = black to 1,1,1 = white, not all the way up to 255. For a mid-grey fog color, you can either set 0.5f, or use the conversion methods on the Color class, for instance you could pass Color.Gray.ToVec ...Show All

• Visual C++ Libraries & Header files

  I'm trying to make libraries, either static or DLL of subroutines I've written. A point I've so far been unable to find explained is how the program calling the routines is told what library to look in for the subroutine. When I'm calling routines in the standard C libraries I have to include an appropriate header, but when I look at the code in those headers I don't see anything that indicates where the executable code for the routines is stored. Can you tell me where some documentation that will tell me how to get the linker to look in a static library I've created, or how to get an executable to look in a specific DLL I wrote these subroutines in C, but I want the option of calling them from C programs or Visual Basic progra ...Show All

• .NET Development File/Directory path validation

  Hi folks, I'm looking for a way to validate a string whether it is a valid file path and/or directory path. The System.IO.Path class contains some helpful methods but not a solution. I am not looking to find out if the file or directory exists or can be created. I want to know if it is a valid path expression. Relative paths are also important to be distinguished. Is there such a method available I have looked and could not find a good solution yet. Is there a solution in .NET 3.0 Thanks in advance, Remus .NET 3.0 has nothing changed but only add ons like Indigo/Avalon/WPF etc... the main core engine is still .NET 2.0 and no changes made to that. I don't beleive there is a method avail ...Show All
