Re: Any other decent 3D Graphics Engines besides Irrlicht??

Except we don't use a command-line interface for cars (nor do they operate in such a way that would make that interface rational)... which makes your point fallacious (argumentum ad absurdum) If you didn't get the analogy i'm sorry. ok let me explain you : if you have a modern car with servo steeri...

Re: Any other decent 3D Graphics Engines besides Irrlicht??

No worries, I get why people prefer distributed source control systems (I use hg for a while now). But git's still messing with me far too often in my relative simple projects. I don't even care if I don't like it - will still switch to it as most users here prefer it. But I have to be able to at l...

Re: Animation Blending broken in Irrlicht 1.8.0

Hi , so could someone finally figure out what are those empty joints in the mesh ? After loading my mesh i always end up twice as much joints that the mesh actually have. (I use panda exporter and 3ds ,max) Also these joint have no name and i'm assuming they're safe to remove as they have no frames ...

getNodeType() Drives me nuts

SOLVED :
It was a problem in my code.I used strcmp (c8* to std::string.c_str()) to compare node names and return the matched node and that doesnt worked the returned node was always wrong.(i dont know why) So i built a std::string from c8*
and compared the two std::string instead.

Re: 2d Circle vs box intersection point

If this question is still unanswered , i could came up with an idea : First loop through all the edges of the box. Check the intersection between the line and circle ( It can be done easily with a quadratic equation) The algorythm will determine wether the circle intersects or not the box , and also...

Re: Few questions

I'm not sure what your trying to do exactly but If you have lets say a certain material in your structure that needs transparency you can access that material specifucally and set it to use transparent type. For example node->getMaterial(4).setMaterialType = EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL; so with t...

Hi .Is there a way to set the shadows color darker ?
