Is anything happenning with anything proposed to be added to 1.8 as discussed previously (in a charming full of hope topic with ideas, etc)?

You could try adding support to mesh particles and then build a custom scene node that alighns with the Y axis.
mesh particls are a nice feature for the engien, and the custom SN is easy business..

Lol i can have "foes".
Heheheeee...

Awesome, i intend to chekc it out pretty soon, thanks.

If your graphics looked as well polished as the first screen it would look pretty good. So far it look like other Irrlicht games. But its cool!

Maybe it could be a good thing to add to the wiki or the forums the guidelines to make a new compatible working patch to irrlicht and a submit button/form/attachment manager so ppl could submit the patches.
The guidelines should be pretty solid and well explained. The patches in approval process ...

The problem with this idea is that not everybody codes like Irrlict is coded. Some OOP articularities and language convensions are not followed and devs may have to adapt it to be good to read or whatever. Also compatbility and that stuff gets in the way sometimes. And also there is the bloating ...

What most caught my attention actually was the "Development is decreasing"...
Damm....

You brought the point here. Irrlicht is planned to work on a big range of devices and thats why it still supports old hardware stuff and dx. Also the fixed function pipeline is still here because of this wish to make the engine run anywhere....
I think its a cool thing, but the engine should make ...

One difference i noted on Irrlicht vs shader based engines is..well.. the shader speed.
Much of the irrlicht pos processing and material shader implementation is really slow compared to other engines.

And I really have to agree with devsh, I skipped between engines a lot a couple of years back and I always came back to irrlicht after a while because of its completeness, its flexibility and ease of use, something I never had with an engine like OGRE

Sadly enought Ogre has much more to show ...

The thing is that most people just want nice looking graphics, etc. Some dont realize the possibilities within irrlicht. Also people think that shaders is what make graphics cool, but a good art is like 80/100 of the beauty. I just wished default CG support within the engine ;D

You need to adapt your model to game exporting.
First you will need to have only one UV texture map. If you're having trouble you could try to bake the textures from max and then export. The bump mapping (i think its a relief mapping) is only achieved in irrlicht using shaders. The lighting is also ...

Pretty good DOF, awesome quality!
