Irrlicht Engine

Thank you for the advice Granyte. I never knew about parallel for loops. After looking it up, I see it would make parallelizing gravitation and electrical forces easier, although I would still have to add some sort of N-body algorithms.

Any advice or criticism is welcomed, because I know there is a ...

I use Bullet physics, but I do manually add forces at times, for example with springs so that I have more control over it.

If you mean by what IDE I'm using, I'm using Visual C++ 2010 express. I don't think I messed with any optimization settings, but no matter how I look at it 2 thousand objects ...

Hey,

I have worked on this for some time, but have been busy and so I just decided to post the project on sourceforge so that people can use it even though it's far from finished.

The link to the sourceforge project page is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/t-dphysicssim/

3-DPhysicsSim is an ...

The implementation is different for different platform types. So for windows there is a CIrrDeviceWin32.h/cpp, for linux there is CIrrDeviceLinux.h/cpp and so on.

FINALLY, found out how to easily setup up irrlicht with wxWidgets in linux.

I checked in the wxWidgets forum to see if anyone had found out how to do this and I luckily found out how to get the XID/Window from a GtKWindow thanks to this useful post from the wxWidgets forum: http://forums.wxwidgets ...

Hi,

I'm working on a program that uses wxWidgets and I'm trying to port it to linux. I implemented the the "easy way" which uses a wxGlCanvas as explained in http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39719 because I don't know how to map XID to SIrrlichtCreationParameters nor do I know ...

if you need to read vertices data to much and to often, and the data can be doubled - keep a copy locally and use it for calculations

Yes, the vertices array is a local copy.

from your code, i see, you may do not change Y+1 of every vertex, but simply change the position of the mesh (e.g. world ...

I was testing out the difference between native Irrlicht and Irrlicht Lime for dynamic mesh handling. In native Irrlicht a static mesh(derived from a heightmap) of around 16000 vertices give me around a 1000fps and if I change the mesh buffer to use stream hardware hint while also updating each ...

thanks for the quick reply omaremad and i will try to use it, but i have tried this prog before and failed.

I used a normal map from blender and it doesnt work with a normal map specular shader i made while a normal map from bencloward.com works and i think its because the blender texture is not in tangent space. I dont know how to convert it to tangent. Any help?

thanks

try using "setMaterialFlag(BACK_FACE_CULLING,false);".

i think you can but your not supposed to use "setMaterialType()" but instead getMaterial(number).texture[1]=some texture file. You would have to set up the materials in the modeler before you use this for this to work, but i dont know for sure.

Am i right?

are there other ways?

i am using this website for the kinds of maps. its very good:

http://www.3dtotal.com/team/Tutorials/leafproject/leaf_1.asp

anyway im trying to make some maps and put it on an object and see if irrlicht loads the materials automatically.

If it doesnt i think you have to use node->getmaterial ...

blender has the capability of using all kind of texture maps like bump,normal, and translucency. is there a way to use translucency,specular and reflection maps in irrlicht and if so how? examples would be very helpful.

thanks

also this is my first post in this forum.
