Irrlicht Engine

I use 3d studios max to build the lightmaps for the level geometry. Just use render to texture and put it on channel 2 then use the lightmap material type in irrlicht. You can export the lights from max using the b3d exporter however it only works for max 9. The thing you will want to do is modify t...

I've just Googled. So in case anyone else wondered this.

No it doesn't, just forward rendering. In fact it seems like it doesn't even support shadows at all.

Thanks Nadro.

Does Unreal not use Deferred Shading on the iPhone or does it just fall back to lightmaps?

Has anyone got this working?

And would it be a huge job to port something like irrRenderer to the iPhone?

Sorry I'm not really up to speed with all the latest irrlicht developments so I don't really know the status of these things.

Thanks Hendu. That's easier

I have cygwin too. Need it for build tools

Thanks although after looking a bit closer I just realized it was the code for cone frustum culling that I needed. Sphere doesn't really improve it much. Shame - I may have to write it myself.

Actually I think I have it patched. It wasn't too hard to just work through it as it was a diff file however it would be really good to know if there's a way of doing this automatically. btw - I use Tortoise SVN.

Sorry I haven't used patching and I'm not even to sure if I could apply it with my version of irrlicht. Is there away to get project with this patch applied?

Did this patch every make it into any of the official releases or is it in the nightly build for irrlicht 1.9? btw - When I downloaded that I assume that irrlicht-current-core-win32 is the correct file to get. The timestamps don't appear right though however I grabbed it from the mirror http://irrli...

mongoose - yea that's what I'm doing.

btw - Using the pre-multiplied doesn't work right either although it is better. Another solution is to render it twice which again is better but not quite the same.

Ignore as I've fixed this. For anyone who is interested to know you need to use glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA) when drawing the texture on the billboard back to screen. However that still doesn't explain why the actual rendered texture is different than the source texture so does anyone...

I have this working except that what I'm finding is that when you render a gui element to a texture it doesn't give the exact same result as rendering to the framebuffer. I've tested them side by side using an image file that I generated by writing the texture. I've looked through all the code and t...

Prebuild the shirts for each player as textures once when the match is loading, both colors (although I would simply use a texture per team as anything else will look crap and won't allow for detail) and numbers/names (do a setRenderTarget and call IGuiFont::draw) btw I've used fonts when rendering ...

Does anyone have a solution to this? I'm finding the same issue.
