Help with scene creation

[ZigZalgo]

I'm currently trying to create a new Scene using a custom 3D model format not supported by Assimp. The issue is, is I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to unsafe/unmanaged code in c#.

My issue is that when I try to create a new Scene(), the scene is read-only. This is intentional, and I've read that there is a different way to do this. However I'm unsure of my interpretation of how to work this into my project.

From my understanding, I must first create an AiScene, and assign to the AiScene, pointers which reference the structures housing all the data, then pass a pointer to the AiScene reference into the method Scene.FromUnmanagedScene(AiScene*). Is this correct?

I am very confused about this, and any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Please post issues on the actual AssimpNet repository that I maintain (https://bitbucket.org/Starnick/assimpnet/src/master/).

The managed Scene data structure is not read only. Once imported, it can be manipulated in however manner you want. You can create a new scene structure from scratch. In either scenario, the scene can then be exported. And really, the only time you need to create a new scene from scratch is when you're exporting.

In the export scenario, the library will use that "FromManagedScene" function to create a representation of the data that native assimp can work with. As an end-user you do not need mess with anything in the Assimp.Unmanaged namespace. All you need to do is work with the .net classes in the main namespace.
