Also good to know: the default effect is a BasicEffect. You can cast part.Effect to it and get some mesh part data from it - the two you probably need are DiffuseColor (which is object color actually) and the texture.

Are you using XNA 4? part.Effect = newEffect; doesn't work because part.Effect has no setter.

I tried the first option and you can modify the effect at run-time using code like foreach (var mesh in model.Meshes) { foreach (var part in mesh.MeshParts) { part.Effect = newEffect; } } As for the second approach, doesn't the ability to change the technique at run-time give you the same functionality as changing the effect if you write a single effect that exposes the original multiple effects as separate techniques?

I haven't tried this but I would expect it to work." Actually he's doing that at compile time (in a ContentProcessor) and you can't do that at run-time as far as I know. I think what you're trying to say is that I can assign an effect to the model and then just pick whatever technique I want in that effect at run-time. That's true but doesn't answer the question of: how do I use different effects on the same model at run-time? | |
