This Loads Models at Run time performing a number of functions. See remarks for full details.

Model Loading

This loads a vxModel with a Specified Effect as well as applies the CascadeShadowEffect to the vxModel's internal Shadow Model as well. XNA and potentially other back ends do not allow multiple loading of the same asset, therefore if a Shadow Model.xnb is not found, then it is created from a copy of the main model as 'mainmodelname_shdw.xnb'.

Texture Loading

Furthermore, Textures are loaded based off of the name of the model mesh name.

For Example

ModelMesh Name = "ship"

Then the content importer will look for textures under the following names:

Diffuse Texture: ship_dds Normal Map: ship_nm Specular Map: ship_sm

The path to each of these is saved in the vxModel as well too allow for reloading of other resolution packs later on.

Returns

The loaded model.

LoadModelTextures()

void VerticesEngine.ContentManagement.vxContentManager.LoadModelTextures	(	vxMesh	model,
		string	ModelPath,
		ContentManager	Content,
		string	TexturePath = "",
		bool	IsBeingImported = false )

Loads the textures for a given model and/or mesh.

Parameters

Content	Content.
TexturePath	Texture path.
