I am struggling with this as well. Say I have a simple cube and I want it roll correctly towards a certain direction, how would I figure out how to rotate it? When I rotate just by a single axis it works OK, but when I add another axis it all goes to nuts. I have tried to google, but I can't find a ...

Citizen AmigaIrr, My tiles have height variations, so it is easier for me to keep each tile a node of its own. Irrlicht seems fast enough to handle all the nodes. Currently I do lights by adjusting vertice colors. Next I'll add some billboards for trees and see how it looks. Ah, just found out that ...

Irrlicht has everything you need except the tiled terrain. Lightmaps are provided. In order to do picking of terrain tiles you would either have to make each tile it's own node, or do some custom picking after you created your tiled terrain node. Citizen Spintz, Thank you for your advice. Mystic Ji...

Making 3D tile-based terrain?

Greetings fellow mortals, I want to make a tile-based 3D terrain in Irrlicht. Terrain would be made of rectangular tiles (each made of two three-pointed vertices). Each such tile could have a specific texture. It would be great if I could add static lightning on the terrain. By static I mean that li...
