Irrlicht Engine

I am confused by the code you first posted, and maybe you've rewritten some since then. But your code creates the Beam Node this way: scene::CBeamNode* beam = new scene::CBeamNode inside of an if-then block. That means that the variable beam goes out of scope at the end of the block and is no longer...

Maybe later, but I'm glad it worked for you.

I'll remember next time to say "in your render loop" rather than "during updates" in order to save the next person the frustration.

This may help you: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=241485&highlight=#241485 Perform the numbered steps, then add the camera scene node plus children as a child of your mesh. During updates, after you rotate the mesh, do the updateAbsolutePosition(), setTarget(), setUpVecto...

...because it takes so long to generate I thought write it to file... But in fact, generating takes considerable less time than writing Been there, learned that. It's always a surprise, but sometimes caching just doesn't help. You're working a hard problem. Please share the solution if you find one.

You can also avoid the export/re-import business by selecting the Blender object you are going to export, clicking Object->Clear/Apply->Apply Scale/Rotation To Obj Data, and then exporting. This is fast and avoids a non-identity FrameTransformMatrix.

I created a simple function in order to add objects into the scene easier void addMesh(IMeshSceneNode* node, const path &meshFile, const path &texFile, vector3df pos) The problem is that you are passing a copy of a variable to a function. That copy is being modified by the function, but you...

What happens in this code snippet if tempScanline.getLength() < savedScanlineLength is never true? Try using your debugger and see what savedChosenNode equals when it crashes on that array access line. This is always good policy when an array access causes a crash, because odds are good that you are...

Well, I was replying more to Mikhail9 I suppose I should clarify that I wasn't talking about any current forum participant in particular, which is why I removed Devsh's name from the text I quoted. Obviously you guys have good reasons for doing what you are doing (and can explain it clearly -- a go...

So, why you creating new engine, instead of making Irrlicht better? I cannot understand this. I see this all the time. It always looks easier to build your own version of something, and you're always supremely confident that you can do it better than the last guy. The real complexity and magnitude ...

Whenever I am manipulating cameras, using camera positions, or anything of the sort, and strange things happen like flickering, jumping, shaking, generic weirdness... the first thing I try is calling UpdateAbsolutePosition() on the camera before doing anything to or with it. Often it fixes the probl...

BUT, it should be noted that bind target and rotation didn't work for me. I had to set up a set of child nodes and do a bunch of I-don't-remember-because-I-only-ever-use-the-class-I-wrote-to-do-it-for-me's. I never tried it ( BindTargetAndRotation ), because it didn't exist when I created my camera...

BindTargetAndRotation . Then use this on the camera scene node (call it cameraNode). // localRotate // Rotate a node on its own X,Y,Z axes void localRotate(const core::vector3df& v3dfRot) { core::matrix4 m = cameraNode->getRelativeTransformation(); core::matrix4 n; n.setRotationDegrees(v3dfRot)...

In real life we are not "capsules" when when we move around. My suspicion is that your collision capsule has only one contact point with the terrain and as a result bullet is not calculating friction the way you expect. Try using a cube for your collision shape and see if this fixes the p...

The hardest thing here is trying to think about and visualize it... at least for me. I end up just having to trust the math, which works fine. The direct way to do it is to use the matrix4 class. That way you can rotate an arbitrary amount about any arbitrary axis without having to worry about thing...

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
