Irrlicht Engine

I did "some better search" on the forum without find anything of what i asked.

Thanks to who had the courtesy to calling me a "Ogre troll".

At least do you have answers on how i can deleting my account from the forum?

Regards

Thanks for the answer, by the way never mind, just found what i was looking for in Ogre..

Hello everybody,
im looking for some examples like:

- Atmospheric Scattering
- Spherical Heightmap
- Chunked LOD

Regards

Im interested in some examples contained in this wrapper, still in somewhere those examples written in c++ instead than bas?

Hi,
you could use IrrNewt: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=17698&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Or, if you prefer to write it yourself, you can take a look at the source code.

greetings

Thanks for the answer,
well i'd like to avoid to using wrappers overall if no longer ...

Hello,
anyone has any example about a integration between "ITerrainSceneNode" and Newton collision manager?

This is the code im using for my static objects, but i didn't found any example in order to do the same with a heightmap terrain.

void CreateNewtonMesh(NewtonWorld *world ...

If you were to code your own large world with IrrLicht you should consider the word 'streaming'.

Basically the player is at location X, so, you only need to have terrain for a radius of Y tiles around position X. The rest of your map can be ignored.

When the players moves you'll need to unload ...

hmm, without reading much, that's right down my alley. I'm doing a 0.000001 irrlicht units up to 1000000 irrlicht units solar system simulation and I'm really striving for more precision in 32 bit numbers and numerical stability. Second time today someone mentions my problems in detail. Anyways if ...

I'm not sure how many are solutions though. The infinity engine is very good at what it does, providing a seamless transition from high quality space body to high quality terrain is a very difficult proposition.

You could use a spherical planetary model and then transition to a flat paged terrain ...

I get 135 matches, searching for "tiled AND terrain" (without the quotes).

Edit:
now 136 ;)

Hi again, well Arras tiled terrain is not exactly the same thing, i already tried it with (2524 svn revision) and looks fine.. just it is "tiled" and not "infinite".

Seamless world to terrain ...

Thanks for the reply.
With a total of 191134 articles i continue to get "No topics or posts met your search criteria". Please, if i don't ask much, could you show me the link with the possible solution?

Hi, i would know if is possible create a very huge world (realistic dimensions) like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCzDKj3hjOE .
If yes which method you suggest me to use? I tried adding some huge spheres and adjusting camera visibility with setfarvalue, but it have some limitations and mesh ...

update: I resolved my troubles with Newton :)


NewtonCollision *coll;
ITerrainSceneNode* terrNode;
NewtonBody* body3;

// create terrain
coll = NewtonCreateBox (nWorld, 5, 5, 5, NULL);

terrNode = smgr->addTerrainSceneNode(
"media/islehm.png");
terrNode->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING,true ...

Confirmed, i don't found (on google and on this forum also) any example, tutorial or documentation about ode and irrlicht 1.4...

For a beginner I'd suggest ODE, it seems the most simple. PhysX, although not necessary, is made for hardware physics implementations, Havok is Half-Life 2's physics engine and I though it cost a fortune. Never looked at bullet.

The best thing to do is start with one (ODE) and if you don't like it ...
