I've got the knight demo almost completely replicated in Go, but for some reason when I call setupModelAnimStage, the knight model gets removed from the scene. The knight's node, resource, and animation resources all have non-zero numbers, which I take to mean they are still part of the scene. The knight just doesn't seem to render, even with debug for wireframe on.

Here in c++


here in Go



If I remove this line, then the knight (and the attached particle effect) shows up fine, just not animated.

Any ideas?

Another interesting point is that whether the knight is visible or not, it still seems to be contributing to the triangle stat count. Also the nodes position is the same regardless of whether it's visible or not.

What else can I check to see where the hell my knight is going to?

Maybe, for some reason the knight is just transformed to a position invisible to the current camera position, although it shouldn't make a difference if you're running the sample demo from Go or C++.

Have you tried rendering in debug mode, if hardware skinning is enabled, maybe debug rendering shows it still at the correct position, if only the animation transformations are wrong.

No, it's not showing up on debug rendering anywhere.

Well, this is embarrassing, but I figured out what the issue was.

In my conversion from Go booleans to C ints (as there is no bool), I had mistakenly made false = 1 and true = 0. So in my call to



was really like this:



Fixed that complete oversight, and now the demo works perfectly. Now the only question is, why would setting Additive to true make the model completely disappear?

From the documentation:


So basically I was trying to apply an additive animation without first applying a non-additive animation. Should this have made the model disappear?
