Instead of using it to create code, it would be really cool if it could also build a diagram/3D graph from pre-existing code. I know the parser would have to be a monster, but debugging your object relationships in 3D would be amazing.

Yes. It was created as student project. One of my schoolmates ...

Hello,

I am working on 3D development environment for OOP languages. It means, that you can design your application in similar manners, that with UML. Then you can generate corresponding code. The difference is 3th dimension :). I am wondering, if anyone else is trying to do this.

You can find ...

Ok, I found acceptable solution:


ISceneNode* Navigator::getPointedNode() const {
line3df ray = collManager->getRayFromScreenCoordinates(cursor->getPosition() + position2d<s32>(3, 22), camera);
vector3df intersection;
triangle3df triangle;

ISceneNode* node;
while(true) {
node = collManager ...

Hello,

I am using ISceneCollisionManager::getSceneNodeAndCollisionPointFromRay for getting triangles under mouse cursor. The problem is, that this method returns also triangles, which are invisible (viewed from backside). Is there some way to ignore theese triangles?

Thank you...

Thanks for your replies. Using map is really good idea. The only disadvantage is, that STL has only one map implementation, which can find element in logN (as well as irr::core::map). I hope this will not be problem for big scenes, when many collision occurs in short while. Do you have experience ...

First, my entities can live without their graphic representations. In other words, the encapsulated ISceneNode is not always initialized and can change (class Car was only example).

Second, I want to encapsulate more ISceneNodes in one entity, and create new very strict interface, which does not ...

Hello,

in my program, I use encapsulation of ISceneNode for creating various entities. For example:


class Car {

ISceneNode* node;

//...
};


Then I use CollisionManager for checking some collisions between entities. The problem is, that when collision happens, I know only ISceneNode, which ...

I was doing something similar some time ago. You can think, that mouse cursor is in distance "camera->getNearValue()" from camera. Then you know angle, in which are you looking on scene = "camera->getFOV()". So you can calculate whatever you want using sin, cos etc.

This is from my code I found ...

Thank you for reply.

I think it is acceptable solution for most cases. I tried something like this and it looks working:


InnerCube::OnRegisterSceneNode() {
// do not register for rendering
}

// ...

OuterCube::render() {

foreach innerCube in childs {
innerCube->render();
}

renderMyself ...

Hello,

I need to insert transparent object in other transparent object and so on (something like information cube).

When I insert "EMT_SOLID" object in "EMT_TRANSPARENT_VERTEX_ALPHA" object, it looks good. But when both of objects have material EMT_TRANSPARENT_VERTEX_ALPHA, one of them is drawn ...

Mrcdrc point me at his topic http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... highlight=. He said that there is still some problem with "docking/undicking", but he will try to fix it...

Yes, this approach seem to be more usefull. I found out, that i can have one device for all windows, but every window can have its own SceneManager (see SceneManager::createNewSceneManager). That is exactly what i need. However, there is one more problem. EndScene(windowID) is valid only for ...

Hi,

i am trying to create more devices. ViewPorts are not enough for me, i need to project more different scenes. Is it possible?

I am using createDeviceEx for open device in win32 window (or more precisely wxWidgets::wxFrame). It seems, that only last created device/window is functional, and the ...

Hi

i visualize graphs (some nodes and edges between them) and i need to find cameras position, from which i can see all scenenodes. Is it possilble in some sophisticated way?

My only idea is to compute "center position" of all nodes and then move away to distance X. X will be computed using FOV ...

I have the same problem. I tried to use Midnights hints, but its not working for me. Pls help me, i really need this source code in near future...

Thanks...
