sgMotion is an animation library (based on XNAnimation by Bruno Evangelista) and provides full integration with both the Sunburn Engine and the Sunburn Framework. The project is available for download on Codeplex:
http://sgmotion.codeplex.com/
The library source + Sunburn sample code is provided to get you started! Current release supports Sunburn 1.3.x for both PC & Xbox. For the older 1.2.x release click here.
Note: The previous releases will be maintained for some time using my Dropbox public space. For new releases check out the Codeplex page above.
Awesome work Tom, looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond excellent,
ReplyDeleteI would like to make the sgMotion into a viewer for my team, How can i load any model with the correct ContentPipeline selected as some models will be standard sunburn Models and some will be Skinned.
I believe i need to build the FBX file into the XNB file with the correct ConentPipeline then load the XNB
We have purchased the Sunburn Pro and really like your project.
Can you please help.
"I believe i need to build the FBX file into the XNB file with the correct ConentPipeline then load the XNB"
ReplyDeleteYou are correct :) Use the sgMotion processor for your skinned models and the standard sunburn processor for your regular models.
You can find more info on how to load a SkinnedModel inside the sample.
Thanks, if you get any remote spare time could i possible request that you could add a load model to your demo please via a menu.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on something at the moment and would be happy to promote your viewer.
I would appreciate it.
thanks again i will take a look now
If we can get this viewer running with a menu to load meshes with selectable ContentPipeline i'm willing and able to add additional features to complete the viewer.
ReplyDeleteAlso i will release the source for everyone as this has been a real pain and has taken valuable time reasearching.
Appreciate you also maybe busy.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteMaybe this Sunburn example can help you out.
Sunburn Winforms Example (You must be logged in to download the samples)
Thanks, i've seen this before but could not get the ContentProcessor to change, I kept getting errors,
ReplyDeleteI'm going to attempt to use sgMotion with the Example and see if i can get an animated model working.
Maybe if you have a little time you could give this a go as you are more experienced in this area.
Can you tell me what the Importer & Prossesor is for sgMotion as i have a seperate msBuild proj file i could also use.
thanks for the support, appreciate it.

ReplyDeleteThank You,
ReplyDeleteI've been looking further into this problem and i've found a key issue i would like to ask.
Using the Winforms Example you provided there is a section in the ContentBuilder.cs file for the assemblies
static string[] pipelineAssemblies =
{
...
"SynapseGaming-SunBurn-" + LightingSystemManager.Edition + "-Processors, Version=" +
LightingSystemManager.Version + ", Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=" + LightingSystemManager.PublicKeyToken,
}
When you add to the contentBuilder like this
contentBuilder.Add(fileName, "Model", null, "LightingSystemModelProcessor");
you are adding the processor for Sunburn
I need to know the equivelents in the sgMotion please to be able add sgMotion to this new viewer.
the line i need to add to the assemblies and the main sgMotion processor to replace LightingSystemModelProcessor
I appreciate this is quite alot once i complete this i will have a viewer that has Sunburn and sgMotion and will load content. This will then be created into a better looking viewer which i will release for everyone.
Thanks again for your support.
sgMotion is truly great
I've had a look at the Winforms project, but no luck so far. Some topics that might help out:

A much easier way to start out with is processing your content at buildtime instead of runtime ;) But that's probably not what you're looking for.
yeah compiling at runtime is what i'm looking for, mainly as my artist team need to load the FBX files once they create them.
ReplyDeleteDoing this all at design time works perfectly and looks perfect.
I'll take a look at the links.
thanks
This is my app.config file and all looks well
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on integrating sgMotion into a workable model viewer.
ReplyDeleteI have created a simple model viewer using the base Sunburn WinForms you linked.
Here is an extract of the content pipeline assemblies, I'm wondering what the equivelent is for sgMotion.
"SynapseGaming-SunBurn-" + LightingSystemManager.Edition + "-Processors, Version=" + LightingSystemManager.Version + ", Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=" + LightingSystemManager.PublicKeyToken,
Just for general information.
ReplyDeleteI have sgMotion working perfectly with my main game project without dynamic content loading.
Anyone reading this sgMotion is excellent
I'm trying to do something unusual with sgMotion which is where i'm having problems.
I have finally got this working.
ReplyDeleteI have integrated the sgMotion Content Pipeline into the Sunburn Pro Winforms application.
Thanks for all your help
An update of the Winform example from Sunburn will be available once i tidy the code and add a few extra features.
Cool :) Can't wait to see your results.
