Irrlicht Engine

Thanks, but didnt work. Does anyone, the original poster would be nice, know how to colourise a textured billboard?

Well, I got it to work with the .net version in a quick testproject with a lit billboard, and by setting either the emmisive, specular or ambient color or a combination of those ...

Are you using any textures?

Again: What shadow technique are you using, when you say that this is not stencil shadow?

Just the default shading that you get when you add lights to the scene and have lighting on the node set to true.

It's definitely a problem of the normals. 3ds meshes do not support smoothing groups, thus ...

Well the model used is just a quick sphere from 3d studio, so I doubt normals would be the problem, or that a normal map would help in that case.

And making my own shader is probably a little out of the league of a first-time project, but I'll look into it if I get really desperate, thanks :p

No way to increase that without increasing polycount then? I know it's technically possible, at least, even in the direct3d driven 3d studio max viewports it's less jaggy, let alone an actual render.

I haven't begun making the character model parts yet (the ones in the screenie are just quick ...

Using .x models, and no stencil shadows.

Use the GetMaterial function on the billboard node, then set ambient, specular and/or emmisive colours to change the colour.

Try multiplying the frames in the FrameLoop function by 160 and setting the animationspeed to 4800 (30 fps * 160).

Check if you initialise the device with 32 bits colours.

Ah, managed to colorise a billboard now, apperantly I was at the right options before, but they don't work when you disable lighting for the billboard (wanted to colorise sprite explosions so wanted them bright).

I suppose I could make higher poly models for the menu only, but that would mean I'd ...

If you're not applying the texture to a mesh, and just showing it on screen, you might want to consider using a viewport instead, those do use AA if enabled.

Two quick questions:

First one: I can't recall the exact technical term for them, but can you increase the 'shadow resolution' without increasing polycount?
