Irrlicht Engine

I`m using version 2012, been using 3ds max since version 7. I got a chance to give Max 11 a good try today. From an engineering perspective, it's a piece of poop. From an engineering perspective, it`s a quite complicated tool, consisting from many different subtools, made to work together. - Every t...

It`s just a simple checkboard test texture similar to this one: http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i145/puck_pics/uv.jpg . It` s just too distorted because of broken texcoords.

Ooops... Sorry about that. Tell her... tell her it`s my bad, but... Don`t give her my address!

@umen: I personally always prefer to write everything I need from scratch. That`s the way I`ve been learning all along. I assume everything else as more-or-less copying or imitating. Not to mention that I rarely like another person`s implementation on sth. I find digging another persons` code kinda ...

Don`t normalize normals of planar surfaces like the tiles you use, and for better results don`t use per-vertex lighting.

Take Irrlicht, add some additional libs, some random and dirty implemented features and sh!t, and "Viola!"- you get OGRE. Which is bad IMO. Yes, using external libs/plugins may be useful, but do I want to see it it Irrlicht? Nah...

On XP crashes looking for msvcp100D.dll and msvcr100D.dll. As for rendering sprites from 3d I`d use 3d max with some plugins/scripts, but of course a free tool may also meet someone`s needs.

Lol! Didn`t know Batman is an Irrlicht user.

Neither here. Works as expected on Mozilla. Pretty cool BTW.

In fact they were pretty much the same, just less.

Indeed- I`m already Irrlicht addicted anyway.

First windows I was using was Win3.1. Then Win95,98 and now XP at home and Win7 at work. I remember win3.1 was absolutely amazing back in those dark DOS days. :D PS: First time I played on a pc was at a friend of mine on his Pravetz8 ( http://www.pravetz8.com/BulComputers_Pictures/8C.jpg ).

This will result in loss of precision. The initial method is ok.

EDIT: serengeor was faster

Because rotationToDirection() returns a unit (normalized) vector? It just rotates a unit vector by the euler angles. IMO the last part of code doesn`t make much sense at all.
