Irrlicht Engine

There's nothing really there which i haven't thought about or heard before, but i would agree with that in general. More than anything, it's persuaded me to actually do some designs.

I recalculated the normals like you said, and it seemed to do the trick. http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/5608/goodshadingkk9.png It's flat shading as you can see, but a shader can soon fix that! Thankyou very much! Oh yeah, the code: irr::scene::IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("../media/...

I made a sword using blender, and it seemed to turn out fine, the texture mapping stayed with it fine too. My problem is that the shading looks terrible when i use a light with it http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/1329/wierdshadingpt4.png As you can see, it's like it only lights up individual faces...

If it's a simple heads up display for a game, then i think sprite animation is your best bet, however, if you are making a 2D game, then you will want to do it using 3d planes. However, i don't see much point in that, it would be easier to make a 3D game than do that.

If your game is framerate dependant, then it's your own fault for making it that way

If it isn't, just deal with the timing.

I can confirm that the FindWindow() method works fine. I also added a random amount of invisible characters like spaces to the window name so that collisions were unlikely, though it would be unlikely anyway. That Method just mentioned looks like it would work too, but if it ain't broke, don't fix i...

Ah, that looks about right. I'll try it now and post the result.

Hi. I'm programming using Windows, and in order to use the Input system I want to, as well as some other performance optimisations I feel need adding, I need to get a handle to the window created by Irrlicht. I created it like: device = irr::createDevice(driver_type, irr::core::dimension2d<irr::s32>...

Because you're setting the frame loop every rotation of the applications main loop, it's going back to frame 50. Try doing void enemy::shootEn() { if((nodeEn1->getFrameNr() < 50) || (nodeEn1->getFrameNr() >1000)) { nodeEn1->setFrameLoop ( 50,1000 ); nodeEn1->setAnimationSpeed(60); } } That way, it w...

How about actually telling us what you're trying?

well i think frustrum sounds better anyway...

I thought it was Frustrum too. Wierd.

It's not really a difficult challenge to work out how to get it to stay there. If you have the cameras current direction, you can point the gun in that direction at all times. Then, using the cameras current position and rotation, you can work out exactly where the gun needs to go. It's the kind of ...
