Irrlicht Engine

Irrlicht uses a scene graph architecture. Most Higher level graphic engines, like Irrlicht, VRML, Ogre, and Unreal do.
What does scene graph mean?
The scene graph give us a more intuitive way to build a 3D graphic environment than constructing low level triangles.
Think of it this way.
How do you ...

If your camera is in your spaceship then you can use your look at point to get a vector to use as a thrust vector.

One reason is i dont want people to have to download the .NET framework to use it.

If you are using a WinForm then they MUST have .NET. If you don't want to use .NET then you will need to use Win32 or MFC to create the main window that will contain the control that you are rendering to.

Use a scene::IMetaTriangleSelector*

Example:
scene::IMetaTriangleSelector* metaselector = 0;
metaselector = smgr->createMetaTriangleSelector();
IAnimatedMesh* mBlock = smgr->getMesh("block.b3d");
int z = 1;
for(int y = 0; y < 8; y++)
{
for(int x = 0; x < 9; x++)
{
IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* nBlock ...

The terrain tutorial does not cover the problems someone might encounter making a paged terrain.

The terrain tutorial is pretty useless. It's like showing an architect how to make one brick and then expecting him to be able to build a house.

Your right, I only hire windows developers. They don't have to answer all the questions, just the ones that relate to the areas they claim to have experience in. You see, I am not testing them for breath of knowledge, but for lying. Kids fresh out of school fall for it every time. An experienced ...

The real problem with ray collision in irrlicht is inaccuracy.
Typically it takes from 1 to 5 clicks on an object before you find the small sweet spot that will actually register a hit on a node.

LOL, yeah, I think this was ment to test for Karnaugh-Veitch knowledge !!! :lol:
As I mentioned it's developers standard knowledge !!! :wink:

More accurately is that it is taught as part of a standard computer science degree program but is never used in the real world outside of academia (unless ...

No mandatory downloads (besides your program) unless you use third party libraries and even then the libraries will be small.

Post the code you have so far in the beginners forum and then ask specific questions and we can be of more help.

GetClientRect will get you the client area. Make a borderless irrlicht window and use the client area as its position and size. You can update in OnPaint.
