Irrlicht Engine

Hello all,
what is the best way to create the six images needed for a skybox?

Are there any tools for this task?
There are panorama stitchers out there to help to make a 360 degree panorama out of a couple of fotos.
But that is not exactly what is needed for a skybox.

Any suggestions?

Hi, i want to have the device init params saved in a XML file. Device = createDevice(driverType, dimension2d<s32>(800, 600), 32, true, true, false, &receiver); so i don't need to recompile when i want to change the resolution or windowed vs full screen mode etc. Since the integrated XML parser d...

Great! :D that was what i've searched. Thanks to all of you! I was not aware of the fact that loading a mesh an creating a scenenode can be done separately. Until now i always did both steps in one by using a custom function "loadModelAtPos". If i had looked into it i could have find it ou...

Hi, a silly question: Is it possible to load a mesh once but display it many times at different locations? The background of my question: I want ot write a 3d text class, where each character is represented via a mesh. So i want to load the whole alphabet into the application and whenever i want to ...

Hi all,
if anybody wonders why the ODE tutorial doesn't compile anymore:
Niko has adapted the name of the aabbox3d member function from getExtend to getExtent.

Hi Vox,
do you mind to share your code with us?

I've also written something that draws a 3D Grid.
But the Problem is, that it disappears from time to time when i move in the world.

Hi, i just added some terrain to my application, like it is described in the new terrain tutorial. Unfortunately i noticed a massive slowdown when moving the fps cam with the arrow keys. Framerate drops from around 400 fps down to 240fps. (debug exe) My system is an AMD 64 3200+, 1GB RAM, Nvidia GF6...

dear friends, thank you for the many posts. It is great to have such an active communtiy! :D One thing that also might be interesting: AGEIA the company behind Novodex, will bring out the (first) physics processing unit (PPU). So having this in mind it might be no bad idea to try out novodex and hav...

Hi all, i want to include a physics engine in my irrlicht project. I've found the following 3: ODE Newton Tokamak which one is the best suited for a beginner? Which one is easiest to be combined with irrlicht? What are the pros and cons of them? It would be interessting to know which of them is used...

Hi,
thanks for the reply.
Can you please be a little more specific?
How can one access those joints through the API?
I know this is the advanced forum, but a little code snippet could be extremely helpful.

Hello, I'm working on a VR project using irrlicht. I've already integrated the P5 data glove represented by a static model of a hand. So right now the hand can be moved in x,y,z achsis and also rotated around them. Now i want to introduce the bending of the fingers. So whenever a finger is bend in t...

Finally a reply :D My current plan is to create the characters 0 - 9 in the 3dsmax individually. Yes. That was my idea too. Since i have family and don't want to pay a fortune for a modeller i did this with anim8or. This modeller is free and totaly fits my needs. I've modelled each character and num...

Hi *, since the integrated textnode for placing text in 3D space doesn't work very well and as it is only some billboard kind of text, i'd like to have a class that allows to write characters with real deepness (like meshes). Is there anywhere some code that could be used? Any hints how this could b...

Hi Jox,
yes it would be interesting to study your code.
so please post it.

Hi all,
is there a possibilitiy to graphically view all nodes that are involved in a scene?
To have an hierarchical overview similiar to the windows explorer?
