Me again :)

ok i can get the diffused skinned shader to work using code from the sample... to an extent. It's just a cube moving from side to side (my standard programmer art test). I can see through the front of the cube. Although the other sides are ok. Quite strange.

I think the easiest way to use my custom shaders is to write my own draw code. I'm just not sure how to go about creating the Pose paramater;

In modeldraw, you create an identity pose with something called an inverseBindPose and set it during DrawChunk. As far as I can tell, this pose data is stored in the private member List chl = new List();

Below is my current drawing code, what should I do to get the pose information? Sorry if this is an obvious question.

I'm trying to avoid touching your code base for obvious reasons.

Looking forward to some insight :)

foreach (ModelMesh mesh in m.Meshes)
{
foreach (Effect effect in mesh.Effects)
{
Matrix world = transforms[mesh.ParentBone.Index];
Matrix worldView = world * camera.ViewMatrix;
Matrix worldViewI = Matrix.Invert(worldView);
Matrix worldVP = worldView * camera.ProjectionMatrix;
//Matrix worldI = Matrix.Invert(world);
//Matrix worldIT = Matrix.Transpose(worldI);
Matrix viewInverse = Matrix.Invert(camera.ViewMatrix);

//effect.Parameters["__object_to_ndc"].SetValue(worldVP);
//effect.Parameters["__object_to_camera"].SetValue(worldView);
//effect.Parameters["__camera_to_object"].SetValue(worldViewI);

effect.Parameters["ViewProjection"].SetValue(camera.ViewMatrix * camera.ProjectionMatrix);
effect.Parameters["World"].SetValue(world);
effect.Parameters["ViewInverse"].SetValue(viewInverse);
effect.Parameters["Pose"].SetValue(??????);
}

mesh.Draw();
}
