Irrlicht Engine

You can just use it like an HLSL shader, since FX is HLSL
True, but FX format uses HLSL language + SAS script (semantic, per variable annotations, automatic state changes, passes and techniques..)
In order to use it like an HLSL shader wouldn't be necessary to clean out all this code or it would ...

Could you provide a demo-Project? PLEASE

I need to think better how to implement this and test it before having anything ready to be shown in a demo.

To use FX shaders effectively I will have to integrate them with source code of irrlicht.

Maybe I should create a new material like "EMT_FXSHADER ...

This shader is made by me in 5 minutes with FXShaders plugin for 3DSMax that now is FREE even for commercial use for groups of not more two people.

It is a blinn shader + texture map + normal map + specular map.

Hi all,

I wanted to do some stupid experiment with FX shaders made with FX Composer 2.5 and Irrlicht.

I succeded (through ID3DXEffect) to render some FX shaders with only a little bit of hack.

It is only a stupid example but it works without the need to modify Irrlicht source code:


... create ...

Thank you for your prompt reply.

We needed to use diffuse colour on some untextured submeshes without using shaders.

I think that the material diffuse colour value could be useful also in textured meshes in order to add some simple colour effect on the texture.

I'm using Irrlicht 1.5 Win32 compiled version and I'm now downloading the latest SVN sources.

An example code:
// start up the engine
IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice(video::EDT_DIRECT3D9,
core::dimension2d<s32>(640,480));

video::IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
scene ...

Hi all,

I can't really understand why my non-textured meshes are always rendered with a white diffuse colour.

I turned off ambient, emissive etc.. and if I use OpenGL or Software, all meshes are rendered with their right diffuse color.

This happens only with Direct3D 8 and 9.

I'm using an ATI ...
