Irrlicht Engine

I really don't see what this question has to do with irrlicht and advanced help. Read the beginners help forum description: "If you are a new Irrlicht Engine user, and have a newbie-question, this is the forum for you. You may also post general programming questions here." This is obviousl...

But it's possible to tile terrain objects right ? So if this is possible a hole is easy to do:

So does imature people who enjoy badmouthing open source project leaders. *laugh* OK, so far I have been called a bitch, immature, and told to "shut the gently caress up". Until such time as you enter the debate with something other than ad hominem attacks - I feel no need to answer your ...

Sorry, but open source projects are just as susceptible to problems such as elitism and politics as are commercial projects (perhaps moreso given the profit motive behind most commercial projects). Some projects (such as Linux) have leaders who can rise above the issues. Others do not. So does imat...

it's not really true that the blender developers are elitist. they are quite open for suggestions. the problem is that they have limited programmer resources and of course the programmers first work on what they like to work on the most. Of course they aren't elitists. Thats the only weapon bitches...

This is important for blending and sharing animations. I think there should be an AnimationData class that can be loaded separately and can be freely linked to animated meshes.

But how can i animate it in blender? I mean how can i separate running etc. to use it later in the code? For animating stuff there is that great blender manual (a huge pdf file). How to use it in your program you need to chose a format Irrlicht can read then copy the exporter script to blender scri...

Using 64 bit floating point values will help but it won't solve the problem because the z-buffer is what limits the usable distance. For a z-buffer of 16 the quotient (far clip plane/near clip plane) must be aprox. 2000. As z-buffer bits increase this quotent will can be bigger but it isn't a linear...

There is a program called ivcon with source included that can read and convert a lot of 3d formats out there:

This can be very useful. I think its even possible to cut and paste code from here to irrlicht for reading all these formats.

Thats what it was made for. Still is good to LOD your meshes. The less triangles you have in your scene the better.

You can find the most recent obj importer and exporter scripts here:

Or better yet a config.xml file like this: <config> <startup> <param name="gui" value="minimal" /> <param name="opengl" value="yes" /> <param name="directx" value="yes" /> <param name="software_rendering" value="no" /> ....

I never misspell Irrlicht. It's kind of easy to memorize actualy.

Is it possible to separate parts of Irrlicht code and use it in other projects ? Whats the implications on Irrlicht code license and my own separate code ?
