Irrlicht Engine

so if u wanted to smooth that normals u would have to find the vertices with equal positions and sum the triangle normals they belong to?

sounds like a slow solution.

does this normal smoothing work when recalculating the normals?

i can't see any difference on my test - sphere. it doesn't look smoothed.

thx... but actually i was looking for a way to calculate them on the fly in my program. but i'm not sure how an unwrapping algorithm might work.

Hi,

i want to calculate the u,v coordinates for a given mesh for lightmapping...

I was looking for a tutorial but i only found tutorials for some sort of 3d modelling software.

Ah ok that explains it...

thank you

ok here is my testcase

its pretty much the same as helloworld but without the animation:


#include <irrlicht.h>
using namespace irr;
using namespace core;
using namespace scene;
using namespace video;
using namespace io;
using namespace gui;

#ifdef _IRR_WINDOWS_
#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht ...

well it doesnt work

cmeshbuffer.h: i think it returns a copy of Material via the copyconstructor?

im trying to reset some textures inside a IMesh but it doesn't work.
getMaterial() returns a copy of the Material and not a pointer?
how do i get a pointer to the Material?

irr::video::SMaterial& mat = mesh->getMeshBuffer(meshbuffer_id)->getMaterial();
mat.Textures[1] = tex;
mat.Textures[0 ...

You should never call a delete on a pointer pointing to a mesh or a scenenode handled by irrlicht. Always call a ->drop(); See IUnknown for details.


I have looked at IUnknown. The comment said one sould only call drop() if the pointer was initialised via a createSomething().... method...

Hi :D

I'm copying vertices from a mesh to a new structure.

the mesh is loaded like this:


scene::IAnimatedMesh* testmesh = smgr->getMesh("../../media/test.3ds");


now I want to get rid of the old vertices in the testmesh.
When I call delete testmesh I think the vertices remain in memory. Must ...

yes sorry i found it

for some reason it was not extracted of the zip

Hi i'm trying to compile a example of irrlicht with Visual Studio 2005 (prof).

i followed the Hello World tutorial:

We also need the irrlicht.lib to be found, so select 'show directories for Library files' and add the \lib\VisualStudio directory.


but in this directory there is no irrlicht.lib ...

hi i'm new to the irrlicht engine and ive a questions about the octree:

can i add meshes to an existing octree scene node after it has been initially created?

when i add another actree scenenode is it somehow merged into the existing scenenode?

if not: how could i dynamically add/remove meshes ...
