Irrlicht Engine

When I'm done developing my game, I'd like to simplify the models, change some controls and run it on the iphone. Is this possible? Is the iphone support currently the kind you have to apprentice to learn...?

You could use collada

http://sourceforge.net/projects/colladamaya/

Wow! If only there was one for Maya!

Ah ok.

I'm not sure how to load a lightmap and normal textures at the same time, but I'll finish the tutorials before I worry about that. Thank you I think I understand it now.

Phew! So Irrlicht isn't supposed to pick up the shaders from the .obj, just the flat picture texture?


btw, when you were talking about lightmaping, were you talking about baking the texture in maya while it had the shader, or in another program with shaders? Do you have an example of that looks?

I'm not familiar with directional lighting, is it a scene node?

Does no one here use maya, what programs do people use, because this engine isn't very Maya friendly at all. I'll have to hit some maya forums and see if it can export more than flat color.

Can shaders do all this and more? (make it ...

Shaders can do the same thing though, and can be applied to multiple objects via code, correct?

Nope, be glad to

It looks spectacular. I do have a question though, you say it now has a rendering modulal for Irrlicht, not just OpenGL. Does this mean it just runs with whatever rendered you've chosen? (Can you choose direct X and it works through Irrlicht to render?)

I haven't tested it, but it looks like it ...

In example 1 the writer invokes a IAnimatedMeshSceneNode


IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("../../media/test.obj");
if (!mesh)
{
device->drop();
return 1;
}
IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( mesh );


In example two the user makes a scene node, then seems to ...

Ok, since programing each model in is laughably ridiculous, like moving rocks by hand instead of trucks, I of course need a map editor.

I'm looking for one that does normal maps. I like irredit's features, they pretty much all look great. But it would be kind of stupid to place all my models, then ...

(Sorry, I often just accept my spell check's changes, it doesn't know shader :) )
I'm not quite sure how to mess with the specular, not in maya, because it's not exporting anything but flat color, so I suppose I'd have to code it in, and I'm not sure how to do that. So your saying for anything ...

The first one looks best, but I think I'd have to learn both shader languages in order to port or rewrite it, and I'm busy with the engine. Did you port it to GLSL (openGL)? If so I'd love to have it :)

I saw a post about using the ogre cel shading shader from the demos, you just have to turn one ...

I added a light scene node but it still looks like it only carries over the color information. The shaders that give it a nice look didn't. Do you have to add sharers in personally and material is only flat color?

I'm looking for the best cell shader there is. I think I'd like to stick with OpenGL (GLSLor CG is it?) because there cross platform. Still, my goal is the best shader, I saw
