wow, this looks promising
i hope to find some time this week to test it with python.

I've commited the fix for the POLYVOXCORE_API issue, but might look for another way to do that in the future as it's a little ugly. I've now generated a folder full of .cs file and am running: csc /target:library *.cs which gives no problems and generates Density8.dll. Even when I deliberatly insert C++ compile errors into the PolyVox code. Are you running something different? I don't know much about C# so it's probably a simple mistake... Edit: Ah, right, I must have to compile 'PolyVoxCore_wrap.cxx'. How do I do that so it can be used with the .cs files? I assume you are working from the command line, can you tell me what commands you are entering? I guess they should be added to the batch file. You know more about it than I do at this point... |

All I had to do was add PolyVoxCore_wrap.cxx to the visual studio project that cmake generated for polyvoxcore, then I compiled it normally to a dll. |

Hmmm.... I see. So if building everything from scratch you would run SWIG first, before you build the main .dll. I think the workflow was different with Python, and I want to still allow the main library to be built for C++ even if SWIG (and hence the generated .cpp) is not present on the users machine. But that's ok, it's just a bit of fiddling around with the build system. Anyway, I commented out those problematic functions and they'll be removed in the future if no one complains. They were a bit dubious anyway. Thanks again for your help, and do let me know if you need to change anything else. |

Let us know how it works out with Python and I'll try to give any more help I can... ape wrote: Got my rendering working Great! That's very... psychedelic

Yeah, just using random vertex colors to test  . I just figured out that the indices needed reversing, it was drawing everything backwards in that screenshot, haha. Here's one with a bunch of holes.http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6281166/voxelxna4.jpg |

You mean the triangle winding order is wrong? You can probably set this in XNA. I think PolyVox uses whatever OpenGL defaults to (which I think is counter clockwise). |

Yeah it uses right handed winding/clockwise. Kind of weird. Apparently they used to have functions for lefthanded winding but it was removed a while back. If flipping the indices after generation is too slow I can always go in and change polyvox to support both, I guess. |

The lefthanded/righthanded issue is seperate from the clockwise/counterclockwise issue (I think I'm talking sense here). I think you just need to set the right CullMode, something like: Code: RasterizerState stat = newRasterizerState();
stat.CullMode = CullMode.CullClockwiseFace; //Or the other way |
