Irrlicht Engine

Use hardware instancing.

Give me some time I'll produce something that performs better. Can you paste the code you used for creating all the cubes, etc, for comparison purposes? I wanna know the camera's exact position relative to the center of the cube cluster.

If you want me to, I can recreate ...

I added the following code, but it had no effect. The program used about the same amount of memory and had the same average framerate.

Code: Select all

node->getMesh()->setHardwareMappingHint(scene::EHM_STATIC);

I don't know how to get a count of the number of vertices.

patricklucas

Did you ensure to use EHM_STATIC? You also have to lower the minimum vertices of the vertex buffers, otherwise this won't make a difference as VBOs would not be used (It's currently defaulting to 500 vertices, while the cube has probably much less).

How do I do this? I found EHM_STATIC in the ...

Also, I called that method with:

Code: Select all

makeCubeArray(100, 10, 10, smgr);

I created an application to check Irrlicht's ability to handle a large number of nodes. An OSS project I'm interested in working with wants a node visualizer that can handle "millions of nodes" so I've been experimenting to see if Irrlicht could handle it, after optimizations of course.

There is ...

I thought I remember there being some line about New Zealand... Hm.

I know of two differences: (Meaning there must be many more) Professional edition lets you edit resource files and compile in 64-bit... Don't know any more detail than that.

This miiiiight be the same thing that was suggested to me a few days ago: Gimbal lock.

It's hard to read that wiki... My mind keeps tripping on the lack of spaces in intrawiki links. :p

I start at about 1700fps (DX9). When I can see the various ships and such, it drops to 200, and when I fly out where I can't see anything but stars, I get 3000+. :p

However, I noticed that you don't tie the accel speed into the framerate or anything... therefore, because I start at 1700fps, the ...

I see two numbers, Max Primitive count and Primitive count, and when a number exceeds its maximum... tends to be bad?

I'd say download Blender and toy with it. I don't know for sure where, but I'm sure there's an option to optimize the model.

patricklucas

Unoptimized model? I don't really know enough to say.

Looks like a bad case of that suntan stuff on the back of her legs.

patricklucas

Still, what makes this project unique? Interesting?
