But that’s not the only cool news: Fabian Kranen is working on ‘Extenic’. It will be a portable layer on top of Irrlicht, […]

Saigumi set up this free site for Irrlicht Engine projects only. I think this is a very great service. A very big THANK YOU! goes out to Saigumi. For details […]
I played around with terrain rendering last week, and because the results look really nice, I will definitely include a terrain renderer in the next release. Take a look at the new screenshots, they show the alpha version of the renderer, drawing some ultra realistic looking terrain. And as you can see, we’ve got a new shot […]

The API documentation for 0.4.1 is uploaded now. I also updated the development page and changed some colors of the website.
