"Engine" was 11th for me. The more people that link to it the higher it gets, because irrlicht is one of the better engines it's top on the search list. Google has a no evil policy, and they don't remember your searches to customize future finds. They do however differ from country to coun...

Hmm, Dreamspark doesn't allow New Zealand students. At my uni they let you walk in and ask for the software and they hand it out. I was tempted to get a pack of free software from Microsoft awhile back, but is there any real difference between the 'professional' version and the 'express' edition? I ...

You use a mouse instead of a trackball? Well, I guess it takes all sorts.

This really should be in Advanced Help or Beginners help section. But to answer your question: Irrlicht already has an event receiver class. It's best if you limit the amount of libraries as the more you use the more problems you get. You use this to capture key presses, upon an event . If you want ...

Blender is fantastic once you get a grasp using it, and you can wow people with tearing up a model with the key shortcuts.

Other programs seem to be orientated towards retards who can barely use a mouse.

3Ds max has a 30 day trial if you have the bandwidth to download it. Because of the mentioned poly count, so you will need to convert it

Lurk around 3ds chat rooms for a while and you're more than likely to find someone who is willing to help you out

It'sMicrosoft, Square Enix, Zipper Interactive.

Microsoft finally realized it's been marketing the wrong console, Square Enix has been squeezing the most it can by marketing only to Sony and finally Zipper Interactive has been developing good games, got no idea why he is depicted as a weird nerd.

I personally recommend SDL_Mixer because of its free license and its example in the irrlicht demo folder.

But it's up to you to find a sound library you like

rogerborg: sequels sell. It may by unimaginative and inartistic, but it rakes in the cash.

Direct X is closed source, so you won't be able to see how backface culling is done. MSDN will give a vague description, but really won't tell you

I'm sure irrlicht has it's own culling method, of which you can view

Needing opinion on application idea

Would you use a program that made 3d media for browsers? My idea is for an Adobe flash like application that makes files that can be embedded in web pages . The difference is that hardware rendering will be used, and thus 3d objects will be easy to make. Combining SDL, irrlicht(?) and lua would arc...
