Irrlicht Engine

let me guess bit-pusher. either you had this junk laying around and decided that it was clock posting time because I made you think of it. OR you thought hey a clock I can do that faster then midnight maybe I should throw some poop together really fast and try to out do him. it'll be easy it's just ...

Hmm wierd.. seems to work OK for me. Any probs with the demo, or is it just the code on this page? :S

Cool; updated the original post to add the demo link and for context.

Nice work!! Checked this out after seeing your snake dissection.

Very nice -- good work

great, second site of this thread and still no Midnight-code! :roll:
I'm realy looking forward to see the great code snippet that needs so long to be finished! :twisted:

Yeah it's comming. I'm adding some new features now and I got side tracked by bit-pushers code.

I found a bug in it btw ...

Sure, go for it

I was just demonstrating the calculation really, you can make it a u32 no worries.

Awesome -- works great. Thanks for the pointer Brainsaw, wheel reinvention avoided.

Trivial use case example rendering to a bitmap file:


// Create render target
if (!driver->queryFeature(video::EVDF_RENDER_TO_TARGET)) exit(1);
video::ITexture* rt = driver->addRenderTargetTexture(core ...

Brainsaw - (name from a Therapy? lyric??) - thanks! I was thinking ITexture didn't support pixel access but I see ITexture::lock() returns a void pointer to the pixel data.

I'll have a play and see if I can get that working.

Greetings friends.

I'm experienced with C++ and Irrlicht, but I've hit a stumbling block I'm hoping someone can direct me out of.

I want to render a scene with Irrlicht, but I don't want to display it directly; I just want to render the frame into eg a char array.

I don't expect the OpenGL or ...
