Irrlicht Engine

Hmm, ive found a slight work around.

Here is an example that doesnt work.


SColor S;
S.setAlpha( 0 );
S.setRed( 255 );
S.setGreen( 255 );
S.setBlue( 255 );
MeshManipulator->setVertexColors( Mesh, S );


The mesh would still be partially visible.

but this, seems to work, even though it doesnt ...

Anyone?

I Have a problem, and i may have descovered a bug. If i call setVertexColorAlpha( someMesh, 255 ), and set it's material to EMT_TRANSPARENT_VERTEX_ALPHA it is perfectly visible, as expected. But if i call setVertexColorAlpha( someMesh, 0 ), it is somewhat visible, but not invisible, as expected ...

Works perfectly, thanks a bunch

Hmm, i was hoping to avoid using shaders, ill try creating a new mesh instance for each, well... instance. Thanks a bunch

Hmm, btw, how should i use IMeshManipulator::setVertexColorAlpha? Is there any method within IAnimatedMesh were i can get() a IMeshManipulator?

Thanks, but what if i have muiltiple instances of that mesh and want to 'have' a different alpha for each?

I see, is there anyway i can just call GetSceneNode()->getMaterial( 0 ).AmbientColor.setAlpha( 100 ) and will make the whole mesh appear transparent? without having to iterate over all vertices and such?

Im trying to implement vertex transparancy in irrlicht but aren't getting any results, my mesh is still completely visible.

Heres what im doing now.


GetSceneNode()->setMaterialTexture( 0, Core.CoreVideoDriver->getTexture(BOX_TEXTURE) );
GetSceneNode()->getMaterial( 0 ).MaterialType = EMT ...

Hi, i want to improve the quality of the .bsp map via parralax mapping. Right now, im loading my "level's" from a .irr file that have the mesh, and a position for my camera. I need a way to get all the materials within the mesh, and assisgn a normal map to them for parralax mapping.

Anyone have any ...

Would using a physics engine better suite my needs?

Yeah the terrain is pretty steep and mountainy. When i make my camera really large, (the bounding box), its a lot smoother. But for some reason, i cant Jump when im on the terrain. the camera looks like its bouncing up and down really fast.

What do you think would be the best way to set up a decent FPS Camera that utilizes terrain?

thanks

Thanks a lot Vitek! it now will load mesh and terrain collision. But there is a problemo. I set up a FPSCamera with some gravity, but when i try to walk, its really bumpy, unrealistic, and sometimes i get stuck in the terrain. How could i make it so the collision is nice and smooth, like ...

hmm, ive been trying to implement collision with importing a .irr file. Ive been able to implement OCT_TREES but i cant get it right with ESNT_TERRAIN...



void Level::RecursiveSelector( ISceneNode* Node )
{
if( Node == NULL )
return;

if( Node->getType() == ESNT_OCT_TREE )
{
IAttributes ...

And this is how im doing it.

Selector = Globals::SceneMgr->createOctTreeTriangleSelector( Globals::Map->getMesh(0), Globals::MapNode, 128 );
Globals::MapNode->setTriangleSelector( Selector );

ISceneNodeAnimator *Collision = Globals::SceneMgr->createCollisionResponseAnimator( Selector ...
