try activating lighting on the scene node first.
example:

node->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING, true);

well, my irrlicht 1.7.1 has 2:

Code: Select all

bin\Win32-VisualStudio\Irrlicht.dll

and

Code: Select all

bin\Win32-gcc\Irrlicht.dll

be sure to use the one from Win32-gcc.

which compiler are you using? are you using the right runtime DLL provided for that compiler? there are 2, try both if unsure.

loki1985

you still don't get it, it seems. have fun going on missing the point again and again

I wasn't wrong.. it doesn't work I can seee your grass planes clearly sure, you can never fail, oh mighty one..... and, on your last screenshot, what is the most prominent thing visible? right, a total ugly rectangular spot right in front of the camera, with, you gessed it..... grass planes! hurray!

that is not the point. the point is you being wrong about "this would not work"

Just a question what grass node did you use?

none, this is just a quick hack using plane meshes (from geometry creator).

this would not work I'd have to get out in a field, get a picture looking from above of 20cm tall grass, use that as ground maybe your idea is the better solution, but "this would not work" is not correct: http://b66883.com/projects/screenshots/grasstest_1.jpg http://b66883.com/projects/s...

what about this (just brainstorming, i have no experience in this): make a small area with very high grass density, each piece of grass slightly tilted ins some random way. render once, save to texture, and use this texture as ground texture, using much lighter grass density from now on. this could ...

can't that be done using shaders? a bit non-intuitive maybe, but probably much faster than letting the CPU do it, since that would require a roundtrip of the data on the graphics bus.

your structure should work. just be sure rendering calls (and any calls transferring data to/from the graphics card) are made in the same thread, since rendering APIs like d3d and ogl are not ready for multithreading. i don't think it must be the main thread, but it cannot be spread among several th...

did you download the version that includes mingw?

also, be sure to open the CBP file

good advice: throw away devc++, it is outdated and buggy.

better, also free and gcc-based: http://www.codeblocks.org/

irrlicht is a 3d graphics engine. how do you think it can play sounds?

if you want sounds, check irrKlang or cAudio

loki1985

yeah, its an old one. was reported about a year ago.
