There is just one problem left, the transforms of the rendered skeleton are not synced with the actual skeleton, you have to run around a bit to find your skeleton.
here's what I have so far:
Any help would be much appreciated.

Almost got it ported for TGEA 1.8.1 thx to deepscratch and a basic understanding of stateblocks.There is just one problem left, the transforms of the rendered skeleton are not synced with the actual skeleton, you have to run around a bit to find your skeleton.
here's what I have so far:
if (smRenderBones) {
GFXStateBlockDesc desc;
GFXStateBlockRef myState = GFX->createStateBlock(desc);
desc.setZEnable(false);
//GFX->setLightingEnable(false);
PrimBuild::begin(GFXLineList, 2);
PrimBuild::begin( GFXPointList, 6.f);
for (U32 i=0;i<mShape->nodes.size();i++)
renderBone(i);
PrimBuild::begin( GFXPointList, .1f);
PrimBuild::begin(GFXLineList, 1);
//GFX->setLightingEnable(true);
desc.setZEnable(true);
// Render time code
GFX->setStateBlock(myState);
}andvoid TSShapeInstance::renderBone(U32 idx)
{
Point3F pos;
pos = mNodeTransforms[idx].getPosition();
// Draw point
// GFX->setVertexBuffer( mDots );
//PrimBuild::begin( GFXPointList, mDots->mNumVerts);
//PrimBuild::color3f(1, 0, 0); // red for the dots
//PrimBuild::vertex3f(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z);
//PrimBuild::end();
// And now the line to the parent
if (mShape->nodes[idx].parentIndex != -1) {
PrimBuild::begin(GFXLineList,2);
PrimBuild::color3f(0.0,1.0,0.0); // green for the lines
PrimBuild::vertex3f(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z);
pos = mNodeTransforms[mShape->nodes[idx].parentIndex].getPosition();
PrimBuild::vertex3f(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z);
PrimBuild::end();
}
}Any help would be much appreciated.

There are better spots to do this, though. We have it at the end of ShapeBase::prepBatchRender ().

The nodes are in object space, so either put the renderBone () calls before popping the world matrix, or grab the transform from mNodeTransform and multiply it with the shapes matrix to get it out in world space, Ari.There are better spots to do this, though. We have it at the end of ShapeBase::prepBatchRender ().
