Irrlicht Engine

Hi all, I'm executing my irrlicht application under a Win7 64bit computer, but the console windows shows the following: (check the Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (Build 2600) line) irrKlang 3D Sound Engine version 1.1.3 Loaded plugin: ikpmp3.dll Using DirectSound8 driver irrKlang 3...

No, currently I'm not using multithreading. So it should work? If yes, what am I doing wrong? What else should I try? I tried everything you wrote... Isn't this enough to set? IImage* ThreadTexture1 = 0 ; IImage* ThreadTexture2 = 0 ; ...100+   ThreadTexture1 = device->getVideoDriver()->createImageFr...

So this kind of stuff, what we were talking about, "the multithread image/texture loading and reusing it when loading .obj model" does not works in Irrlicht?

get a backtrace for it

What do you mean exactly?

Any other way to get faster texture loading (multithreading in another way)?

Hi, I made the modifications: IImage* ThreadTexture1 = 0 ; IImage* ThreadTexture2 = 0 ; ...100+   ThreadTexture1 = device->getVideoDriver()->createImageFromFile( "texture1.jpg" ) ; ThreadTexture2 = device->getVideoDriver()->createImageFromFile( "texture2.jpg" ) ; ...100+   device...

Ok, I got the point. So I should create 100+ different pointers, and use those names as a parameter in the addTexture() function call?

Hi, Thanks for the answer. First you add only the last image, but 100+ times with different names. Can you please describe this in more detail, sorry I did not get the main meaning. Texture1 and texture2 is just an example, I use the correct path in my code. Maybe the MTL file (which contains the te...

hello, I tried the following (first without multithreading): IImage* ThreadTexture = 0; ThreadTexture = device->getVideoDriver()->createImageFromFile( "texture1.jpg" ) ; ThreadTexture = device->getVideoDriver()->createImageFromFile( "texture2.jpg" ) ; ThreadTexture = device->getV...

You should load images (IImage) from a separate thread createImageFromFile and create textures via addTexture in main Irrlicht thread. Even without PBO it works really well (streaming textures at runtime need PBO) on low end mobile devices if you do it properly. Hi, Thanks for your answer. So I hav...

Hello, My 3D model (created in Maya) uses many textures. When I load the scene with loadScene(), the texture loading process is long... I'm thinking about multithreading the image loading before the loadScene() function call... I tried to load the textures separately, one-by-one: device->getVideoDri...

hi all thanks for comments... my current problem appears after the texture loading (I see in the console, that the texture was loaded!). when I reach my .irr file, the application crashes. I thought the application will skip the texture loading part and jump immediatelly to the .obj file loading par...

it makes no sense that loading at the beginning is quicker than somewhere between

it could be quicker, if I multithread the processes... when loading from irr, it is not possible...

Hi, I try to be more specific and simplier... Is there a way to load the textures into the memory , and force irrlicht to search for them first instead of loading once again? So when my code reaches the .irr file loading (which means loading one .obj file and one .mtl file with all the 150 textures)...

Hi, I'm dealing with image loading in separate threads... The initial conditions are the following: I have an .irr file, an .irrmesh file (size is approx. 50 MB), an .obj file and an .mtl file . house.irrmesh 58,824,784 bytes house.obj 23,417,887 bytes house.irr 1,433,932 bytes house.mtl 24,396 byte...

I'm using Direct3D only.

Hi, I'm still dealing with this stuff... So the initial conditions are the following: I have an .irr file, an .irrmesh file (size is approx. 50 MB), an .obj file and an .mtl file. house.irrmesh 58,824,784 bytes house.obj 23,417,887 bytes house.irr 1,433,932 bytes house.mtl 24,396 bytes The problem i...
