Irrlicht Engine

I have tried the demo and really like the feel of scale that is achieved.

However, I somewhat doubt the applicability of such a feature. I mean having "realistically" sized planets is good and well, but if You land on a planet You want to see more than a brown plane as far as the eye can see. What ...

I will do that. Thank You.

Thx for the answer. But As I said, setting the 4th component in a position Vector creates really strange effects, i.e. it must have some meaning in a position vector as well.

Ok, the internet didn't turn anything up on this, maybe its just too obvious. What, exactly, represents the 4th component in a float4/vector variable?

I am currently writing a shader, using Nvidia FxComposer(Great tool btw) and setting the 4th component of my global variables to zero produces some ...

What tool are You using?

Hmm, I think when You create a new matrix it isnt necessary to explicitly set the translation to 0|0|0, since the new Matrix is an identity Matrix that already has a zero translation.

I don't understand what You mean with "the color is not being applied.." Does that mean that only the wireframe ...

I second Virions statement, You should apply smoothing groups.

Ok, So I'm trying to use IXmlreader. But, whenever I call getNodeData() or getNodeName(), the result is always the same value.

I tried to use IXMLReaderUTF8 instead, same result. I also tried changing the encoding of my XML-file from ANSI to UTF8 to UNICODE to no advance.

If I am not mistaking ...

Just tested out the demos... sweet, very sweet.

I switched from Irrlicht.NET.CP to C++ recently and am now taking my first steps with the "original" engine.

I am currently implementing (yet another) Cylindrical/Aligned Billboard scene node, which works quite fine in terms of orientation so far.
However ...
