Irrlicht Engine

no reason at all

it's amazing, i've been struggling for hours and finally gave up and had to ask here, then a minute later i figured it out - oh well, thanks anyway vitek!

ah, it's been awhile

this works

Hi!

how change the material of a node? i wanted to swap between two materials, and was hoping that something like this would work:


IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("../media/mesh/sydney.md2");
IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( mesh );
node->setMaterialTexture( 0 ...

not sure if this is a bug with irrlicht or my workflow, but i just thought i could mention that in 1.4beta - detaching different mesh id's to elements fixes some weird behaviour and crashes when multi/sub-object materials are applied...

well, it sorted all my problems at least - hope it helps ...

hah, Luke, that worked! i got so carried away with the Y rotation i forgot that there is some 360 flipping going on with the other axes!

hmhm, rotation is ok now. but this flipping issues are causing weirdness when trying to calculate a position with sin and cos.
the sin calc is ok, but cos has the ...

would that work? i thought the camera target was independent of camera position/rotation, so that it would always stay at the same coordinates unless in some way calculated otherwise?

i tried linking the cam to the bone and it always looks at the same spot - am i missing something?

yes that worked, but the reason i wanted to find the rotation directly is that i eventually wanted to attach a camera to that bone and use the bone's rotation to calculate a setTarget()

i guess parenting a node to the bone and read rotations from the node won't make any difference either, since the ...

i'm trying to copy the rotations of an animated x's bone to a scenenode, but the scenenode's rotation flips at the x axis.
it's a little hard to explain so i tried to draw a little sketch :

the blue arrow is the animated x with a linked bone which ...

oh god, ofcourse! it's amazing how fast things slip out memory
i knew i had done it before, i just couldn't remember the bone issue - works like a charm now! thanks for the reminder!

i have a mesh animated on a circular spline with path constrain. exported to .X and imported in irr, all animates fine, but how do i get the absolute position of the mesh?

my code:
irr::core::aabbox3df bBox = node->getTransformedBoundingBox();
irr::core ...

ah, that sounds a lot smoother, thanks for the tips hybrid!

yeah, sorry, my bad - i kinda suspected it didn't actually load the file twice, it's just that i'm off to a client tomorrow, and when the command line outputs 20 errors or so, it looks kind of 'unprofessional', not that i am professional by any means, but that output doesn't help, if you know what i ...

i just got codeblocks and irrlicht 1.4beta up and running, i got no prior experience with c++ so please bear with me if this sounds stupid...

first, the new X loader is great, large models that could take many minutes to load, now loads in 1 second! but i am curious about how it handles meshes that ...

did some more tests on my mesh, and to my surprise the mesh with single material ID's and a single material actually gave worse fps and loadtimes compared multi mats and many mat ID's...

i tried the 1.3.1 meshviewer and i get the same amount of corruption as before, but the svn meshviewer imports the mesh perfectly! when did you say 1.4 will be out?
