  • Texture Atlas Sample Updated for XNA 2.0

    I updated the Texture Atlas pipeline for XNA 2.0. No new features, it just loads the output of Nvidia's Texture Atlas tool into XNA, useful for sprite sheets and packing multiple textures into one.

  • Texture Atlas Sample Used And Improved

    Somebody actually wanted to use the Texture Atlas Sample I released earlier , so I've been forced into cleaning up the embarrassing mess that it was. The code has at least one less bug than before and should be a bit easier to read through, if you're interested.

  • Bit Twiddling, Texture Duplicating and the Activator

    I posted a sample texture processor that shows how to resize a texture in the content pipeline. Creating this highlighted a small issue with BitmapContent objects that I wanted to mention. To create a resized copy of a BitmapContent is pretty easy, you just have to copy the source bitmap to a destination...

  • Pipeline Processor For Resizing Textures

    This is an example content pipeline texture processor that will resize non power of 2 sized textures to the next nearest power of 2 size. For example if you give it a texture of size 70x70 then it will scale the texture to size 128x128. The texture can then be used with mipmaps and/or compressed to a...

Unlike previous versions of the Mod Tool which required exporting to DirectX .x mesh files to import into XNA GSE, this version...

  • Texture Atlas Sample

    They say you should 'release early and release often'. So that's what I've done, I've released a texture atlas pipeline sample early - before it was entirely finished actually. But one our lovely members was having a little trouble with similar code so here it is. This is just the...

  • Texture Atlas Content Pipeline

    This sample code shows how to read in the output from Nvidia's texture atlas tools and process the files using the content pipeline. This code can be used to combine many textures into one texture sheet, this can be used to help optimize rendering. 13th September 2007: This version fixes a bug that...

  • Opaque Data from Max

    Eli has a post telling us how to export opaque data (often called custom attributes) from Max and Maya. Unfortunately those instructions seem to disagree with this post from one of the Autodesk FBX developers , which say that there is very limited support for custom attribute export. My tests show that...
