Irrlicht Engine

if you go to forums of this InfinityEngine/Game/Prototype, the InfinityAdmin has been posting regular updates with explaination on how things work. I mean, I haven't read all of those, but you might found there information about how he generates terrain procedurally...

i think u must create a class anyway, for whatever camera does

because later how would you do e.g. acceleration, or some other stuff. i mean, i think of camera as of something that provides view, not as something that does anything... every object has its speed, acceleration, mass etc... if u want ...

IMO this is 'pixel art' not a cellshader/toonshader :)

well, it is i suppose - what is your point? i'm asking about 3d :P

'how to make that kind of toon shader' i'm not saying this 2d game has any shaders in it.

IMO this is 'pixel art' not a cellshader/toonshader :) the 1st I'm not sure...
the ...

Would it be possible to keep this kind of 'look' in 3d?

Specifically, i mean the shading and pronounced contour.

I know about toon shaders , now what should be done to keep such 'low resolution' :P effect ?

Because, if the game would just run at ...

HOLY CRAP

this is amazing

i've never seen such effect in any game... i don't play lots of games though

why so many wonderful threads get old and forgotten somewhere on 20th page??

shouldn't there by a sticky 'hall of fame' or something

when i try to calculate rotation from mouse cursor x,y coordinates everything is ok but spinning is constant and its hard to 'aim' at 1spot. so i wanted to suppress the spin by putting mouse cursor closer to the centre. however, this only works when cursor is at the bottom right quarter of screen ...

i dunno if i understood correctly, if are able to move in 2d but not 3d

look how it was done in HOMEWORLD

click/press button to grap 'move tool' , and move mouse on 2d plane, roll mouse scroll to move up/down

As you might know, only 60-75 frames can be seen on the screen, all others are just wasting your gfx card. So don't care for the framerate unless it drops under this threshold.

yes, i know that. :P it just bothered me that if such simple scene results in such huge drop in performance how would it ...

well if you dont render anything, it would be high fps :D

the code is good, there isnt anything you can do wrong with it xD

and you dont have to delete, AFAIK irrlicht cleans automatic when closed
thanks for reply :)

the problem is, Irrlicht demo for example, has 700.000 triangles (i think ...

i just wanted to ask if what i do here is correct and FPS drops only because there are too many triangles,etc.. in the "scene"

without code below i get 300-800 FPS with 4732 triangles/primitives
when i add 10 meshes it drops to ~150 FPS with about 44000 triangles/primitives

GF 9600GT, cpu 2.8 GHz ...

old thread is old, but anyway.

Thank you all for such a deligthful piece of code. :)

However, it seems nobody has noticed that left/ right key bindings are swapped :P

should be:
// direction control
if(keys[irr::KEY_LEFT])
{
turn(node1, -0.1);
}
if(keys[irr::KEY_RIGHT])
{
turn(node1, 0.1 ...

if u shoot at the sky, bullet/projectile appears in camera position

and that jumping... how can i change frequency of jumping ( i cant edit irreventreciever because jumping is handled somewhere deep into engine), and the modyfing jumpspeed give no effect?

i dont know but as far as i know, FPS camera is for 'preview' only. So u have to make derived class of ...

i really need just a clue. this is really simple but i haven't done this before

i don't know how to get node position on screen, but you could use getRayFromScreenCoordinates() or camera->getTarget(), then compare make vertex that is in same distance as sun and then compare it's distance to it. i mean like this:

center
------ sun
| /
| /
| /
|/
camera
i guess it's not the ...
