Irrlicht Engine

Hybrid,

Thanks for the hint ! Indeed the getMesh(0) was the right hint.

Let me recap for others running in the same problems. The correct working code is...



scene::IAnimatedMesh *mesh_animated = engine.scene->addHillPlaneMesh( (const irr::c8 *) "myHill_spikes",
a,
b,
0,
0,
c,
d ...

Autsch,

JA, 1.5 has maybe everything - and the other comment was rather spam-kind of.

I dont understand why addHillPlaneMesh is not creating a "proper" mesh ? Technically, and logically !

Lets take you through the irrlicht engine code


IAnimatedMesh* CSceneManager::addHillPlaneMesh ...

addHillPlaneMesh creates a Node where I am not able to access/animate the underlying mesh.

My main aim is that I just want to generate a terrain/hillplane where i can randomly animate the hills heights using the vertex indices.

Obviously I progressed to get things right, but I have trouble to ...

Hey, I decided to use the physics stuff in a separate thread for the moment. And indeed it works very well.

Obviously everything is possible with irrlicht, even so you don't have canonical multithreaded support.

May be one day I will also use the GetForegroundWindow() hint.


Thanks a lot for the ...

Followed the threads and tested the code. Just to paste the working code with the latest irrlicht:


#ifndef __POST_PROCESS_EFFECT_MOTION_BLUR__
#define __POST_PROCESS_EFFECT_MOTION_BLUR__
#include "irrlicht.h"

using namespace irr;
using namespace core;
using namespace scene;
using namespace ...

i came up with the idea to have irrlicht rendering and physics in separate threads. I use irrlicht for displaying custom physical simulations. As the physics solver is heavy, it always hangs when I integrated it into the main loop rendering.

My attempt to seperate it into thread (code below ...

I just came across fences when a have a separate irrlicht render thread. The window was not painting any more if the while(-run()) loop is in another thread (boost thread).

Does this mean irrlicht was not capable of these things, *BUT* this modification shall fix it ?
