Pipeline tool and tangent frames

GlaDOSik · January 2, 2015, 2:43pm

Hi.
I recently switch to new Pipeline tool and I have a simple question. Does “Generate Tangent Frames” work? Because It doesn’t seem to be working.

I have recent development build
my TBN matrix is fine - when I used XNA to build my assets, everything was fine

I am experiencing the same issue. Any update on this?

Looks like it isn’t hooked up yet as no code reads the property.

I added an issue that hopefully someone should address soon:

ContentPipeline Help Wanted

We need someone to implement `ModelProcessor.GenerateTangentFrames`. You just n…eed to check if `GenerateTangentFrames` is true in `ModelProcessor.ProcessMesh()`: https://github.com/mono/MonoGame/blob/2d43afcc304bbcc53d45c2f31471192c8b1daa32/MonoGame.Framework.Content.Pipeline/Processors/ModelProcessor.cs#L149 If so then you need to pass the `MeshContent` into the existing `MeshHelper.CalculateTangentFrames` to do the work... this method is already implemented. For bonus points implement `ModelProcessor.SwapWindingOrder`. Just needs to pass the mesh to `MeshHelper.SwapWindingOrder`.
