Irrlicht Engine

So if I were to convert all the f32 to f64, would that mean I could add a transform that would run in double precision? Or is all the data all shipped to the hardware by that point?

why?

JPG is for photos. It was designed for photos. Photos usually have no two pixels of the exact same color. The compression used in JPG takes advantage of how our eyes are sensitive to color to toss color information and thus reduce the size of the image. It chops it into 8x8 blocks, converts ...

My project (a GIS tool) needs 64bit precision throughout. Has anyone successfully modified Irrlicht to use s64 instead of s32? I saw a post where a guy changed the typedef on s32 to double. I like that idea, but he never got it all working.

Thanks,

I noticed that the new CivilFEM screenshots posted were in JPEG format. That's an embarrassing faux pas in my book. They should be PNG. I see this all the time. I'm not sure how to educate people on this.

I notice in the latest code that WindowId was changed to void*. That's good. There's a bug in one of the examples where the line:

param.WindowId = reinterpret_cast<s32>(hIrrlichtWindow); // hColorButton

should be

param.WindowId = hIrrlichtWindow; // hColorButton

If you forget to null a reference, then you leak just as hard as you do in a free()/delete based manager, with the added complication of not having to track down which component is causing a possible chain of references to persist.

Uh, going out of scope is as good as setting null, fortunately ...

Here's some things I like about C#:

1. The Reflection, Type, and Assembly classes are very useful. It makes dynamic loading a snap.
2. In addition, I like References rather than header files. For the most part, they are resolved at design time.
3. WPF is a cool API. I really like where they're ...

Why do you think that this would help your project?

Well, it would help my project if changes I made showed up in future versions of your software, though I think patches will be sufficient for that. I was more concerned about helping you. If we decide to go with Irrlicht it will be part a large ...

Thanks for the link. I should have looked there first.

Good point. I added it.

I'm apologize if this horse is dead, but I put this poll in the forum to see what people really think of the Irrlicht.net binding that ships with the main Irlicht C++ package. My feeling is that if it's not complete and doesn't follow the .NET standards and conventions then it's not worth keeping ...

I'd like a wiki page where people could list links to their freely available Irrlicht sceneNodes. It would be nice to have them all in once comprehensive list. We should have another one that lists language bindings.

How do I become an official Irrlicht developer? Does working at a company using the Irrlicht engine qualify me for the job? (We'll decide in the next month if we're going to use it for a 10man project.) I want to be able to check in updates, contribute to the roadmap, announce official releases (not ...

I need a good route for going from Maya 7 on a Mac. Autodesk was nice enough to post plugins for exporting FBX from Maya 7 on the Mac, but it doesn't export a whole lot else that I recognize -- nothing listed in the supported formats section of the Irrlicht features page. What path would you ...

FBX is an open format. See here:

In fact, it seems this would enable us to complete the Irrlicht Collada support, true?
