Irrlicht Engine

At 7:30, the guy in the video explicitly distinguish their points from voxels. I think it is JUST points i.e. coordinates with colors - or something.

I just saw this video on youtube:
Unlimited Detail Technology

They are making quite nice graphics, using apparently only the CPU.

They say that they are producing unlimited detail, using unlimited point cloud data. I'm not sure i fully understand what that means, or how something can be ...

check that page. Some students of a master mind have created a game running in a real time ray tracing engine!

I really like raytracing because it makes accurate shadows and reflections without much coding effort.
You might even be able to trace light, sound and ...

I'm currently working on a ray tracer. Not real time at all (1 fps or so in a really boring scene).
Just wanted to hear you opinion on when you think the real time ray tracer will become reality? And if you think it would be a gain for 3d graphics?

I'm actually doing a project on the subject ...

thanks alot fuzzy! It's nice to see that the code can be used for something (even if just for fixing )

here are some links that might help you:

happy coding

try changing

CGame::CGame()
{
CGameCore *pManager = new CGameCore;
gameSceneManager = new SceneManager(pManager);
gameCameraManager = new CameraManager;

}
to

CGame::CGame()
{
pManager = new CGameCore;
gameSceneManager = new SceneManager(pManager);
gameCameraManager = new CameraManager ...

there is a getTaget member in the camera class api-link
that might be of use to you?

i dont fully understand what you want to do. I think you want to make the camera always look at a specific scenenode. To do this you set the target of the camera to the position of the scenenode:

while(device->run())
{
driver->beginScene(...);
camera->setTarget( node->getPosition() );
smgr ...

Thanks FuzzYspo0N for the update!!!

I've cleaned a little up in the directory, updated the doc, and made it a little more linux friendly.

The things fixed is the thing with the event receiver, and the thing with the SMaterial class.
Is that right fuzzy?

I'm sorry for the late response! :oops: I just started in school again.

I just checked the hello world example and it worked fine on my computer (although i can see that i have uploaded the wrong file to that example, i'll fix this after posting this).

Are you sure you are compiling and linking ...

I think that a setEventRecievier method in the gui elements would be a usefull feature.
Or an useEventReceiver method in the event receiver.

thanks!
the link in the initial post should also work now

sorry.. my computer is in pieces at the moment, and for some reason the files has been deleted from the server? I'll put it back in as soon as i have my computer in one piece.

it looks okay...
try making you device and event receiver in the main scope.
i have no clue whats wrong, sorry
