Irrlicht Engine

Hybrid

My apologies, should have thought to include that info also.

All objects are standard .OBJ models with textures being either .BMP or .PNG

I also try to ensure that all my models have correct normals, are modeled in quads etc.

As can also be seen in the screens, this also seems to impact ...

Thought some screenshots may better show it

1. From /data/ dir - release compiled binary

2. From archive.ext (standard .zip of above DATA dir)

Not sure how best to explain this.

During development, my project reads all models, textures etc from a ./data directory.

eg.
device->getFileSystem()->addFolderFileArchive("/data/");

For release however, this same data dir is zipped and renamed

device->getFileSystem()->addZipFileArchive ...

Nothing special - just a quick shot from my project. Long way to go but getting there.

Thanks Mel - DirectX was the culprit.

I recently upgraded my project from 1.7.2 to 1.8 and discovered that normal mapping under dx9 was no longer working.

Running some tests using the supplied compiled example - 11.PerPixelLighting

Just a quick visualisation I threw together to better 'see' gyroscopic behaviour/motion. Unfortunately youtube messed up the quality of the clip but I still like it all the same.

Just an example of my implementation of CNebula for use in my game/simulation 'Trader'.

Thanks :)

Still has a long way to go until IM happy with it, but pleased with its progress so far (for a 1 man project) :)

OK

Well Ive lurked here for years and developed and worked on my project in my spare time.

Its crude, 'earthy' and lacking in much polish - but ironically it suits the 'feel' I wanted to give this project. Still many bugs im working on but all in all I'm ...

Well I believe I have found the cause of my problem.

Line in Question:

scene::ISceneNodeAnimator* anim2 = smgr->createFlyCircleAnimator(Pcoords, radiusValue, speedValue, directValue);


In particular Pcoords . When my scene was at origin, this worked fine. I was however forgetting that the ...

Thanks for the reply Acki

While I am unable to test this now (Im at work) I am puzzled as to what could cause the culling to be a problem.

I say this because aside from the planets themselves, nothing else in the 'system' scene moves. ie planets orbit star, camera and star are stationary and are ...

I will apologies up front if this is the wrong forum, and/or that this I fear will be a lengthy post.

Problem:
The code below performs the task is was designed for perfectly - except that when I use coordinates other than 0,0,0 origin, suddenly my planets stop displaying. I have double checked my ...
