good Skinned Model example?

[GeonBit]

I’m looking for a good, up-to-date tutorial or example for skinned model animation (how to write a custom pipeline for a skinned model, using the skinned effect, etc…)

I found this one http://xbox.create.msdn.com/en-US/education/catalog/sample/skinned_model but its from 2007 and I think pretty outdated…

Anyone got any good new tutorial or working example? Or should I use the example above and hope for the best?

Thanks!

Tutorial: How to get XNA's SkinnedSample working with MonoGame

Question: why is it called Skinned ? And not Animated or Skeletal ? I have never catched the trick. When i started with xna years ago this induced me to error. Skinned would be a better name if it reproduced skin with all effects and parameters (reflectance, transmittance, etc) implied on a model like the demos on nvidia or ue4 for character faces.

Plus a library from nkast

You can also check out my animation library and see if it works for you. source: Binaries: Sample:

Let us know if this is a good sample! Yesterday I was just able to post the link before I fell asleep ^^
I wanted to look at the sample myself since weeks or month but I have been busy with all kind of stuff.

Thanks @kosmonautgames, @nkast code was perfect!

@Kwyrky I ended up using the code from nkast so I don’t know about the example you posted… Thanks anyway
