Irrlicht Engine

So how would I go about giving the option to have all these maps or only some of those? So in a custom material I wanna have a syntax like: texture { color "root/textures/bump/color.tga" bump "root/textures/bump/bump.tga" lum "root/textures/bump/lum.tga" opacity "r...

Hey everyone, I was going through the list of material types in Irrlicht and it's far less than what I need, though I could use them individually combined with my own shaders. So if say I want a color map normal map, specular map, opacity map, luminosity map all for one model, can I: create an IScen...

Finally got it to work with the X format. It seems like when I did not calculate the tangents it worked. It worked with Obj too and even with MD2.

Why could it be?

The dwarf.X out of Irrlicht:

This one is MD2:

Hello everyone, I have been having major issues with smooth normals. I mean, the first time I had the issue, I figured out that it was because of the file format (3DS), so I moved to MD2 and it was working well. Now after that with other shaders I was never able to got the smooth normals to work. I'...

My bad, forgot how terrible of a format .3DS is. Avoid it !

This is what I get in Irrlicht:

Hi, I recently got the hang of RenderMonkey (if you don't know about it, it's a great shader IDE by ATI, free). I wrote the basic directional lighting shader in it, the one below: uniform mat4 matWorldInverse; uniform mat4 matWorldTranspose; uniform vec3 mLightPos; uniform vec4 mLightDiffuse; unifor...

Awesome. Well the symptom was just junk values for the new position. Here is the fixed code. Someone might have a use for it (mind the VEC3D, it's the engine's own) //New position of the camera from EGE_Position VEC3D newPosition( cmpPos_->getPosition() ); //Current target from ICameraSceneNode VEC3...

Hi everyone. I was looking at the code of CCameraFPSSceneNode. I want to handle movement on my own so I use my own position component. Here is parts of my code: This one is from the update() function of my CameraFPS. if( Flag[FLAG_INIRRSCENE] ) { //Update the direction of Position component from Irr...

Hi everyone, I have my own event receiver that I derived from IEventReceiver. If I want to use Irrlicht's FPS camera, do I have to call the movement methods or call for actions such as EKA_MOVE_FORWARD myself? Because when I set the event receiver to my own using: device->setEventReceiver( this ); F...

Hi everyone, I'm still trying to get the hang of material handling of Irrlicht. How would one go about having a diffuse, lightmap and bumpmap for an animated mesh with the scene node pointer of the type IAnimatedMeshSceneNode? Also ISceneNode has the getMaterial(count); function with a max value of ...

*sigh*, fixed.

Well, if you derive from IShaderConstantSetCallBack and then derive from the derived class again, make sure you do not point to the first derived class in addHighLevelShaderMaterialFromFiles.
