oof, yikes, not a fan of this one.
it's one of those "copy the code and don't question what it does" which i so desperately try to avoid in my tutorials

assimp is a C++ library which makes working with it in silk a bit different since it uses the C bindings for it. it can pretty easily be translated over though with some guesswork, like i did

LLyris the Kitori we have examples, but not for assimp to my knowledge

Aqua•1/4/23, 1:12 AM

i believe there is a PR for an assimp tutorial currently open

Lyris the Kitori•1/4/23, 1:13 AM

flykeOP•1/4/23, 1:13 AM

Examples with animated model? Maybe I missed it, didnt find. Will look again.

Aqua•1/4/23, 1:14 AM

https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET/pull/1161 yep. this looks pretty good, and a straight port of the learnopengl one instead of my messy mesh system

Fflyke Examples with animated model? Maybe I missed it, didnt find. Will look again.

Lyris the Kitori•1/4/23, 1:14 AM

no not for animated models

Lyris the Kitori•1/4/23, 1:14 AM

just for silk in general

flykeOP•1/4/23, 1:17 AM

Thanks, this one is enough to start, https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET/pull/1161

flykeOP•1/4/23, 1:20 AM

And for skeletal deformation we use vertex shader? (This part is total unknown for me, so want to be sure that I'm moving in right direction)

AAqua it's not perfect and it doesn't support animations but i use it to load meshes i...

Redhacker2•1/4/23, 1:32 AM

Haha well I have one as well as well as my little wrapper thing as far as pulling mesh data out, no animations though

Bloppy•1/4/23, 6:39 PM

well I just wrote this code for loading an image as a texture, but the code responds with error cs8377. And I don't know the solution for this situation.

Lyris the Kitori•1/4/23, 6:40 PM

what is img.Data

Bloppy•1/4/23, 6:40 PM

I am using StbImageSharp

Lyris the Kitori•1/4/23, 6:40 PM

that error implies it's a 2d array

Aqua•1/4/23, 6:40 PM

you must use fixedfixed on the image data

Bloppy•1/4/23, 6:41 PM

so apparently img.data I was using as a parameter is a 2d array right?

Aqua•1/4/23, 6:41 PM

fixed (byte* ptr = img.Data)
  _gl.TexImage2D(..., ptr);

fixed (byte* ptr = img.Data)
  _gl.TexImage2D(..., ptr);

BBloppy so apparently img.data I was using as a parameter is a 2d array right?

Lyris the Kitori•1/4/23, 6:41 PM

maybe? idk i've never used it, look at it

Aqua•1/4/23, 6:41 PM

img.data is a byte array

Lyris the Kitori•1/4/23, 6:41 PM

Lyris the Kitori•1/4/23, 6:42 PM

wait why is the inferred type parameter byte[] then

AAqua ```cs fixed (byte* ptr = img.Data) _gl.TexImage2D(..., ptr); ```

Bloppy•1/4/23, 6:42 PM

here's the result

LLyris the Kitori wait why is the inferred type parameter byte[] then

Aqua•1/4/23, 6:43 PM

wdym? its assuming T is byte[]byte[] cause thats what it is lol

BBloppy here's the result

Aqua•1/4/23, 6:43 PM

this looks like an issue elsewhere

Aqua•1/4/23, 6:43 PM

are you setting the texture before drawing?

AAqua wdym? its assuming T is `byte[]` cause thats what it is lol

Lyris the Kitori•1/4/23, 6:43 PM

well surely the function parameter of that overload is T[] not T, right?

Aqua•1/4/23, 6:44 PM

nah

Aqua•1/4/23, 6:44 PM

its T

Bloppy•1/4/23, 6:44 PM

I think not

Aqua•1/4/23, 6:44 PM

_texture.Bind()

_texture.Bind()

should be it

AAqua its T

Lyris the Kitori•1/4/23, 6:44 PM

Bloppy•1/4/23, 6:45 PM

you mean this method

Bloppy•1/4/23, 6:45 PM

oh now I see

Aqua•1/4/23, 6:45 PM

yeah, that will bind it
check in renderdoc to see if the texture has been created correctly, this looks like it could be a shader issue (also you should set

uTexture

uTexture

in your shader before binding the texture, i would try that first)

Bloppy•1/4/23, 6:48 PM

Oh wait

Aqua•1/4/23, 6:48 PM

ah
that was going to be my next question
yep you need to bind it before setting the data

Bloppy•1/4/23, 6:48 PM

thx rollie

Aqua•1/4/23, 6:49 PM

Bloppy•1/4/23, 6:49 PM

that helped me alot

flykeOP•1/5/23, 1:30 AM

After mentions here, I downloaded "Renderdoc" program, seems very useful. Never too late, learn something new

Lyris the Kitori•1/5/23, 4:51 AM

make sure to get the where-is-my-draw extension

Lyris the Kitori•1/5/23, 4:51 AM

its very useful

flykeOP•1/5/23, 6:45 AM

Thanks, I didnt know it has extentions, nothing about it on front page.

Redhacker2•1/5/23, 8:42 AM

Helps solve

Redhacker2•1/5/23, 8:43 AM

Problems

Aqua•1/6/23, 9:25 PM

any reason why SilkMarshal stringtoptr requires you to manually free the memory when

fixed (byte* ptr = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("text"))
  // things with ptr

fixed (byte* ptr = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("text"))
  // things with ptr

works fine?

Aqua•1/6/23, 9:27 PM

cause im starting to wonder if this is not the right way of doing things
except i have been doing this for a long time now and have had 0 issues with it

Aqua•1/6/23, 9:45 PM

hm. been looking and seems like

public class Thing
{
  void* whatever;

  public Thing(byte[] stuff)
  {
    fixed (void* ptr = stuff)
      whatever = ptr;
  }
}

public class Thing
{
  void* whatever;

  public Thing(byte[] stuff)
  {
    fixed (void* ptr = stuff)
      whatever = ptr;
  }
}

isn't valid
i've had no problems with that
but i guess i've been lucky?
so if that's not valid
wtf are you supposed to do instead
or have i just confused myself

So with Silk.Net we just go to learnopengl, look their examples and write the same on C#?
