Irrlicht Engine

I have tried all sorts!!!! This is driving me nuts. I have changed near values, far values, even changed the driver to use the ZBIAS, but all to no avail. The problem is made worse by the fact that typically one of the co-incident planes will be transparent - which does not fit well with zbuffering....

I have exactly the same problem! I did some tests re rendering speed in my app and in actual fact it does not really make a difference. Wether you sort on texture or distance does not really matter - the system still needs to go through the sort process - it is just the value that you test on that c...

Hallo Is it possible to change the ZBuffer depth using the parameter ZBufferBits when creating a new device? It does appear to be used in some of the device drivers, but does not appear to be used in the DirectX9 device. I am using 1.5. I want to increase the ZBuffer depth, to try and solve some iss...

I have a related problem with drawing order. Looking at the code in drawAll(), solid materials appear to be ordered by material and NOT in back to front order. Transparent materials are. My question - how do I combine 'all' nodes in back to front order. Secondary thought is that rendering might slow...

I think what you want is this : http://www.cad-essence.com/genes1s/wireframe.JPG This is a wireframe model of a building. It is not made up of triangles, but you need the 'outlines' of the various objects that define your model and this can achieved by defining the vertices of the objects. I use the...

Have you tried setting AmbientColor for the light?

I believe your problem is with using ray.getMiddle(). The ray (line) that is generated from the initial call, is in effect 'infinite' (it does end at the intersection of the far plane of the viewing fustrum. ray.getMiddle() will be somewhere along this vector, which might be 'behind' the plane, that...

Are you sure all the textures exist and that the getTexture function is not returning 0 (NULL)?

I included CTextSceneNode.h and then used

(CBillboardTextSceneNode *) and that worked - is that going to be a problem?

Hallo

I create a ITextSceneNode using addBillboardTextSceneNode and I want to change the size of the billboard. How would I go about doing this? I am using 1.4.2. I cast to (IBillboardSceneNode) and try and use setSize but this does not work - any other suggestions?

Thanks

Anton

I also can't see how you are going to change the values in the ang function : int ang(float x,float y, float z, float angle_xz, float angle_yz, float distance) In the code you are changing x,y,z, but they are not declared correclty - you either have to define them as float &x or float *x (as an ...

Sorry to bump this, but I have not been able to resolve this at all - anybody else having problems creating Collada files?

Thanks

Hallo Please go gentle with me :oops: . I currently have 2 versions of my app, one based on the released version (1.4.2) and another based on the SVN trunk, which I update on a regular basis. I monitor 'changes.txt' to see what new 'goodies' and/or bug fixes are in the latest trunk version, but sadl...

There is a function setActiveCamera (ISceneManager::setActiveCamera), which takes as a parameter the camera to use (make active). You would define another camera (using addCameraSceneNode) and then set that active using the setActiveCamera call when the user presses 'u'.

On the screen shot it appears that you are using the Irrlicht software rendered - would using a hardware acclerated mode (DirectX 9) not help in increasing performance?
