Irrlicht Engine

I see. But is it enough to call all three functions to render that frame of the PE? I read the documentation and it says you can register a node to be rendered; do I have to register my pe?

Thanks bitplane.

P.S.
This animation quite a plight as the light of my spaceship freezes as the ship goes ...

Nobody? I've got all sorts of problems related to this, would be immense help if someone had a solution!

Hey,

I've got a little game with dice rolling around on a board. There are several particle engines in use. Problem is, when I roll a die, I'm looping the rotation animation, and so the particle engines freeze.

What I don't understand is that I can call Render() as many times as I want, but the ...

Do you know if C# has the ability to carry out the setMeshToRenderFrom() function for stencil shadows? C++ has it, apparently, but not C#.

It doesn't have a Shadowvolume node type like C++ seems to have, and neither IScenenode nor IAnimatedMeshSceneNode have functions to set the shadow rendering to ...

Do you know if C# has the ability to carry out that function? It doesn't have a shadowvolume node type, and neither iscenenode nor IAnimatedMeshSceneNode have functions to set the shadow rendering to a different mesh. And there's no createshadow function, only the addShadow, which returns IsceneNode ...

ps.setEmitter() does it!! Thanks Travis!

It's really weird that the example code works tho... I must have missed something at some point. Ah well, what matters is that it works!

Thanks again!

Hey, you have a good point there, even though both the C++ and C# tuts put opacity 0 for some reason... unless I'm looking at the wrong thing, and I prob am, cause I tried changing the values and still nothing displays:

IParticleEmitter em = ps.CreateBoxEmitter(
new Box3D(-20, 0, -20, 20, 10, 20 ...

Yes my mate did the die in max, I saw it and it's quite ridiculous lol. We have another low-poly version, I'll see if that works. Thnx bit.

I have a problem with the particle emitter in C#. This is practically identical to the tutorial code, and yet I cannot get the thing to display (it runs fine, but it doesn't display the pe at the origin).


IParticleSystemSceneNode ps = smgr.AddParticleSystemSceneNode(
false, null, -10, new ...

So are you saying that the mesh is effectively hanging cause it takes too long to do the shadow calculation? It seems to be running fine with normal dynamic lights, strange...

Anyway, as far as setting a different mesh for the shadow, do I have do have that mesh loaded at a node, or do I just ...

Well, it would not be a fps camera anymore, no? How do you intend to do mouse-look if you have a movable selector? Rotate with keys?

Hey all,

I'm trying to create my particle engine, but it's not displaying, and I worked back to the code practically identical to the tutorial's:

IParticleSystemSceneNode ps = smgr.AddParticleSystemSceneNode(
false, null, -10, new Vector3D(0, 0, 0), new Vector3D(), new Vector3D(2, 2, 2));

ps ...

Thnx.

Cool yeah. I was just wondering if there was a bug with .3ds initially since some ppl have told me there are some between irrlicht and the format. Here's the code:

diceArray = new IAnimatedMeshSceneNode[8];

Random random = new Random();

for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
diceArray[i] = device ...

Hey,

I'm not sure if it's been said somewhere, but are .3ds meshes not subject to casting shadows? When I load an md2, it shadows fine, but when I add a ShadowNode to the .3ds mesh, the whole program hangs (this by changing only the path to the mesh being loaded, nothing else).

Any ideas?
