Making a New Irrlicht Video Device

Hiya folks! It's been a while since I've been here. I wasn't sure if this should go into Open Discussion , Project Announcements , or Advanced Help , so I put it here. I've been working up a project for GC-Linux, and they have some libraries to access the video accelerator, but don't have OpenGL wor...

Linux Development IDE

Howdy! After having to completely remake my computer after The Big Windows Crash Of Doom, I decided that Linux couldn't cause any more trouble than Windows did, so I went and downloaded Gentoo Linux. Now I'm in Linux... and I'm looking for a C++ Development "Solution." I've emerged Kdevelo...

I definitely prefer Firefox (and reccomend it to everyone who understands English) over IE mainly because it renders CORRECTLY according to the XHTML/CSS/JavaScript spec. When I'm developing a webpage, I develop with Firefox, create the look, then get out my 3 ft. monkey wrench and beat in hacks to ...

I've wanted to try it, but my Internet is still down on my experimenter's machine. I actually like IM, but only because I use a multiple client (like Trillian or GAIM (which I tried with, but didn't like the interface) ), and have lots of contacts. Most contacts are in my time zone, so I actually ge...

I'm being drawn to the dark side... and it looks like .Net

Like Ratbert in the Dilbert comic strips, I've tried to ignore it. But it seems that .Net is destined to dominate my programming destiny! So I bought a book (so what if it was free at Fry's?) about C# and .Net. Sounds very interesting (like strangling people with a gesture), and now I need a compili...

I've looked at REALBasic... but it's not Free :D

I was hoping to find a FREE solution... basically since I've spent all my savings on getting my computer ready to do Motion Graphics for my business!

Free Rapid Applicaiton Develpment (RAD)

Hi. I'm looking for a free RAD toolkit. I've tried GLADE (was it GLADE, the GTK+ RAD?), but it didn't work too well on my computer. I need one for Windows, and it would be a super plus if it was "cross platform," I.E. I make an Irrlicht tool for Windows, I could port it to linux or give it...

I've started working on something that allows you to set up a "screen resolution" (640x480), place all your widgets into that space, then the GUI layout editor would scale up and down the actual widget placement to fit the resolution of your render. Also, I wanted to try to implement a con...

Irrlicht Offscreen Rendering

I'm way too tired. I did a search and found exactly nothing. I'm looking for a way to render an Irrlicht Scene offscreen non-realtime. I want possibly high resolution or low resolution. I want all the cool 3d features. I was thinking of using Mesa + Irrlicht to do this... I'm afraid I'm too tired to...

Which 3d format is the best... for Irrlicht?

Lets say I want to convert all my objects into one format, and then remove all the loaders for Irrlicht, except for that one format... which would I choose? I was thinking of using the MIM format (is that the right name?) but I can't find anything about it. So which is best... speed wise, size wise,...

In my math classes, I was taught that x went (0 -> Infinity), Y went (0 ^ Infinity), and that Z went through my paper (kinda like my pencil when things didn't go right!). When I started using 3dStudio Max, I noticed that Y and Z had been knocked about. When we look at a computer screen, we see X is ...

Thank you, afecelis! We just use the Firewire system in Premiere Pro to capture the video, so there wouldn't be conflicts on that. We have an ATI card in there now, but it's pretty new, so we didn't really know what was up. The president wanted to try another card, so we will :D We'll go ahead and t...

Thank you, that is very helpful. What I was trying to do, is make something similar to a batch language. You could install plugins (dlls) that would extend the language with more commands. So, check me here... I have a directory of DLLs which are designed to be plugins. They all export a function na...

It looks to me like "Managed Code" is simply an "object file" type data file (OFTDF), which can be used by a RunTime Compiler (RTC) to produce Unmanaged Style Binary Images of Your Executable (USBIYE). The RTC produces the USBIYE using metadata from the OFTDF, which is then run o...
