GVSS - My First XNA attempt

GVSS - My First XNA attempt

So, once again I have started playing with a new technology, Microsoft’s XNA. Thus far, I think it is one of the cooler things I’ve played with.

The download was pretty painless and after a few community tutorials, I have a decent grasp of the power that XNA gives the developer. XNA seems to work with both the Direct X ‘.x’ format as well as Autodesk’s ‘.fbx’ both of which Blender 2.49 exports. Blender, being free, is the perfect complement to XNA. I will definitely post more experiences later.  

My Toolset

  • XNA framework 3.0
  • Blender 2.49
  • Audactiy
  • Gimp

I am still working on finding a free physics package I can use on XBOX360 as I am now seriously considering getting a creator’s club account. So far, I have no complaints.
