Summary

  • 3D models contain vertex and sometimes texture information that together forms some object that's typically larger and more detailed than a developer would ever want to attempt to build by hand.

  • 3D models are created in third-party modeling software applications and exported to model files for use in other applications (in this case, your game).

  • By default, in XNA models contain BasicEffects. You can draw a model by looping through the meshes of the model and setting the properties of the BasicEffect class before drawing the model itself.

  • Drawing 3D models in XNA can improve one's health, wealth, and general status in society.
