I should really get back to writing my own posts soon, My camera guide is moving along and the sample code does do both Matrix and Quaternion based calculations (and reuses the Quaternion method for rotating models in the view – works best)
*Update – Sharky has now completed the 3D collision tutorial in 3 parts, get reading!
More details released by the XNA team (at least we now know who's running it!!)
Seems there still is a lot of goodness coming out of the community over the festive period, which is amazing that people still have time to post while partying!
Lots of goodness over the weekend, the biggest (as titled) is that Mykre, posts that after a change of job, the choice of 3D tools available has reduced to the free ones, namely Blender.
If you're learning 3D, one of the best places to go is the good and the great XNA101.net site (now hosted on Live Spaces and Run by Bill Reiss).
Exert from Mykre’s Blog – damn he was quick, even the XNA team blog or any of the XNA team haven’t even announced it yet!!!
Bill has now migrated to WIndows Live spaces as well, find his new site on http://xna101.spaces.live.com or http://www.xna101.net
XNA Rockstar posted a good go-to article on the XNA Framwork forum recently, little run up on what to learn to progress into being a better game programmer.
This one from Mike Schuld’s, The Ramblings of a Hazy Mind site.
Kurt Jagers has yet again excelled himself with his latest edition to the 2D ile engine tutorial, now written for XNA Beta 2 as well.
Well as I mentioned in my last post, XNA Game Studio express Beta 2 would be coming soon and lo and behold what did I find while checking my blog posts this morning, just this lovely little post from the XNA team
