Irrlicht Engine

This is in C# using the Irrlicht.Net.dll that came with the 1.1 release

Using the Milkshape 3d zombie file from

I get this result:

But when I used ...

well color me informed If Nike woulld update the tutorial, that'd be great. As you can tell by my replies, I'm pretty much a newb when it comes to 3d math functinons and data. I pretty much stick with the cross and dot product for the most part, so quanterions are a new concept to me

I'd sent the source to Niko. Hopefully he'll get it up, or at least do something with it :)

Here's the file: http://enigmatic.shackspace.com/boxdrop.zip (388k)

And here's the pieces of the tutorial that matter: Irrlicht/Tokamak integration tutorial by enigmatic (enigmatic@shackmail.com)

Code ...

Yup, it's a quaternion...or at least, I'm pretty sure it is. I still don't know where the W fits into all this, because it's not a scale, nor does it seem to relate to the rotations in any other way.

I'm working on the code tonight, so hopefully I'll have it up late this evening

Woo, got it!!!

I need to majorly clean up the code, then I'll upload it. Here's a quck executable though:

http://enigmatic.shackspace.com/boxdrop.zip

Basicly, the tokamak object has a getRotationQ() function that returns a X, Y, Z, W matrix that corrisponds to the rotation about the respective ...

OK, I can get the position stuff working using the Node->setPosition() method:


neV3 p = gCubes[i]->GetPos();

TempVect.X = p[0];
TempVect.Y = p[1];
TempVect.Z = p[2];

CubeNode[i]->setPosition(TempVect);


if I set the AbsoluteTransformation matrix, it completely wigs out, so I want to use ...

But how do I set the matrix equal to the value returned by tokamak? Here's the code right now:



neT3 t = gCubes[i]->GetTransform();

irr::core::matrix4 mat = CubeNode[i]->getAbsoluteTransformation();

mat(0,0) = t.rot[0][0];
mat(0,1) = t.rot[0][1];
mat(0,2) = t.rot[0][2];
mat(0,3) = 0;
mat ...

Well, I guess the link was abused by BBCode. At least it works. And I'm enigmatic, the guy who posted this.

Hopefully something will come out of all this
