Irrlicht Engine

This is very interesting reading. What would the proposal be for the server side implementation - use C++ for speed and reliability or use some other development language such as Java? What about the client? Should this also be a C++ custom app, or should it be browser based e.g. using Java? If you ...

Screenie of our CAD App with an internal view of kitchen and dining room. Using Irrlicht 1.5.

Hello I need to be able to 'detect' if, on a target machine, directx (9 as an example) is correctly installed. I know all about using DxDiag, but I need to do this at runtime. Our application defaults to using DirectX 9 as the preferred driver type, but we are getting cases, where graphics drivers a...

My Entry (architectural drawing created by a client of our system) is of a model created in a our CAD system using irrlicht as the rendering engine. The mesh datastructures (and interfaces) are our own. I am using the excellent XEffects (in this case) to add shadows to the model. Having entered this...

Anybody had similiar experiences with this?

Screenie of an architectural drawing created on our soon to be released CAD system. Using Irrlicht 1.5. XEffects used for shadows.

I am also looking at this. I am a huge fan of Irrlicht and have implemented it in a complex 3D modeller. However, there are some other major players as well - have a look at this :

When you create a screenshot you use the function createScreenShot, which simply returns an IImage object pointer. You can look at using the methods available in IImage for instance copyTo to copy the captured image to another IImage created with a suitable pixelformat. I also (in a Windows implemen...

Is the above statement correct? I am using 1.5 and when creating a collada file, using SMesh and IMeshWriter::writeMesh no textures are exported?

Hybrid That is the problem! I do have a 'scene' made up of many custom scene nodes. I have now moved this on slightly, by using a SMesh and then adding all the mesh buffers from my custom meshes into this single SMesh and the exporting that to a DAE file. My code looks as follows : int CDrawing::Sav...

Hallo

I am now ready to look at this function again. Can somebody please see if they can comment on this.

Much appreciated.

I would like to create an EffectHandler and then later on during my app session, the user may want to change (as an example) the ScreenRTT (to improve quality). What would be involved in deleting and then re-creating the EffectsHandler? There are lots of material renderers allocated, various render ...

Looks like it might be with NVidia card(s). My app on an ATI card (will get final spec) does work with anti-aliasing! Transparency on nodes is also really going to be be needed.

Thanks

Hi I have downloaded and got R1_1 of XEffects working in my app. Still got a few funnies, one being that when a create the irrlicht device with anti-aliasing turned on, the ZBuffer while shadowing goes crazy. SIrrlichtCreationParameters param; CRect c; pView->GetClientRect(&c); pReceiver = new C...

@Bitplane I tried the SVN fix (ported back into 1.5) and I get an exception as soon as : present.AutoDepthStencilFormat = D3DFMT_D32F_LOCKABLE; if(FAILED(pID3D->CheckDeviceFormat(adapter, devtype, present.BackBufferFormat, D3DUSAGE_DEPTHSTENCIL, D3DRTYPE_SURFACE, present.AutoDepthStencilFormat))) is...
