Irrlicht Engine

Ah, so you can set lots of simultaneous textures just not give them all unique texcoords? That would probably work... how many textures can be set?

I'm looking to start a new project and so far Irrlict is one of my top choices because of a C# wrapper. Let's not debate language preferences, the fact is for me, an engine which has a good Windows C# wrapper is better as I would rather work in C#. I took a look at the CP forums and there are severa...

Oh, it's entirely result driven, but based on an animating 3D model for parts of the body. In this case, a heart. Anyway, the texcoord limits seem quite strict... I thought on modern hardware you could have for instance a standard texture, lightmap texture, bump/specular maps all single-pass. Is thi...

Sounds simple, thanks.

Great. In the app I'm looking at, we'd need two or 3 such windows in the main dialog. Would this then require 3 instances of Irrlict, and does Irrlict allow multiple instances on the same monitor? The 3 windwos would be viewing different visualisations of the same data so ideally I don't want each o...

3D models & animations would probably be built tailored to whatever engine is used. Ultrasound basically renders a 2D slice, so in itself it's probably a case of 2-D raytracing. But When you see ultrasound images they are very noisy, so I imagine a shader might be used for post-processing here. ...

In a current project, I am deciding if DX10 is the more suitable choice, based on it's extra shader functionality. Making the project Vista-only is OK. So the first question is whether Irrlict even supports DX10? My other question is, is it easy to have an Irrlict 'panel' in a normal Windows applica...

I am investigating engines for a medical visualisation application. As well as traditional 3D views, it needs to simulate such things as ultrasound, x-ray, etc. Irrlict is already scoring points for a C# binding, and I believe it allows you to freely write custom shaders, is this right? Can anyone c...

I'm currently reviewing several engines, reading reviews on DevMaster.net and skimming the feature list. I have two game projects (and a level editor) based on my own heightmap-based engine, which is really old and ugly. I have no interest updating this engine, I'd rather replace it with a proper en...
