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 "root/textures/bump/opacity.tga ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

*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.
