Irrlicht Engine

Hello UDK members!

My name is Jan and I am not new here, but been long gone. I am currently doing my final teases for my university, and have to do a survey + results along with that. My intrest is to find habbits and needs for different kind of game companies, and to research what kind of ...

Hey guys,

for 'fun' iwas just making my own terrain thing. It loads all the heights etc from a heightmap just like irrlicht does. Now i wanted to make LOD, so i just thought i'd make the loop have an OFFSET of pow(2, lod) which for lod one would devide terrain in two making the ttriangles twice the ...

you should write a mod on the terrain scene node allowing holes in the map where you can put bsp trees that are indoor cave levels.....

that's also better for optimization of your levels etc. Outdoor has to be rendered differently than indoor

Ok sorry for asking. cause this is probably answered, but the search can't handle a dot, which makes me searching for 'mesh format', you can see the problem here i think?

what is .mesh for a file extension? CAn it be loaded in irr?

Jan

solved. Thanks!!

haha true

'can you hit it from the side as well? wow that's amazing.'

i wasn't trying to hint that this should be made etc i know irrlicht is a 3D Engine specific

just look at the physics............. damn

have you guys seen this??

Hi!

i already posted something about this in the advanced section, but i thought this would be a more appropriate place to post this. I was wondering why in the terrainscenenode the loadHeightMap(string filename) is not a overload of a real loadHeightMap(Texture image), because the way it is used ...

yes ok but the adding it is a great option, but it is so easy to make this loading a heightmap an overload of the 'none texture loading' loadHeightMap, that i almost feel ashamed that i have to ask for this...

I will make a post in the request or whatever about this.

Ok. I am wondering if this feature can be implented in irrlicht. I think it is even a weird way of a scenenode it's functionallity to load terrain heightmap by itself, rathre then letting the user give the heightmap data, which provides the user a whole large scale of extra functionallity.

I think ...

Hey guys,

I am using Irrlicht NET CP but that should not be an issue for this problem. I am currently working with newton and terrain, and i was wondering what the best options are on gaining performance with terrain. i was thinking of actually slicing the heightmap realtime and load each slice as ...

I can see the benefit of dropping the .net version of Irrlicht and moving it to irrlicht NET CP, so two different teams work independent on both 'engines'. But by dropping it from the main irrlicht stream and making it a different site etc i am afraid the support / knowledge get's lost. I was ...

sounds all a bit depressing, saying it is so difficult to implent it Previous versions of openGL/dx prob wheren't so different from eachother in design (from their previous versions).


sorry for my bad language, haven't practiced it for a while.
Guess we will just have to wait

But seeing the whole picture, with openGL 3 comming up as well, support for surtain things is a must for the Irrlicht engine right? To keep up with the market. The features openGL 3 will support will prob. be not THAT different from dx10, or will it?

I am just curious that's why, just curious how ...

ok i understand that. But for starting prospective they could start with implenting futures for buffers etc.

Next to that, true that M$ is trying to push the limits everytime just to get $$ but they do push the limits often to get more out of games, even if their goal is $$.

Soon enough OpenGL ...
