Irrlicht Engine

I am indeed updating irrRenderer for the latest trunk version (the branch "update" in the git repo). Currently transparent material are still broken, I'm hoping to get some time to work on that next week (currently on Easter holidays ).

Have you considered adding the getters I suggested on the previous page? I'm using them in my modified copy of Irrlicht and they are quite useful

Thanks, seems to be working now

Here goes:   irr::core::array<irr::video::ITexture*> MRTs; // [...]   video::IVideoDriver *video = Device->getVideoDriver();   createMRT("deferred-mrt-color", video::ECF_A8R8G8B8); createMRT("deferred-mrt-normal", video::ECF_A8R8G8B8);   DepthBuffer = video->addRenderTargetTextur...

Thanks, but I can't get the MRTs working. Here's how I set the render target:       core::array<u32> texIndices;     texIndices.push_back(0);     texIndices.push_back(1);     Device->getVideoDriver()->setRenderTarget(RenderTarget, texIndices,                                               false, true...

are you using any of the methodes like recalculate normal creatge tangents etc? because as far a i know these are indeed preatty broken Do you mean this about just the shader-pipeline branch, or all Irrlicht in general? I haven't had any problems with tangents in irrRenderer for years and I've been...

Can I do something like this:   video::IRenderTarget *RT = Device->getVideoDriver()->addRenderTarget(); RT->setTexture(0, MRTRenderTarget->getDepthStencil());   I.e. reuse the depth buffer between the MRTs and the screen? I'm only getting black screen, not sure if I'm supposed to be messing with the...

That's awesome, thanks - I'll wait

Unfortunate - talking about deferred rendering here, I suppose that I will have to render the transparent objects into the MRTs as well then... make sure *not* to render into the depth texture this time if I want to read it in the shader for soft particles. Does this make sense? The plus side is tha...

Hi, how can you force Irrlicht/OpenGL to reuse the same zbuffer for all your rendering, be it the screen or texture(s)? It seems like certain gpu drivers reuse these by default whereas others have different zbuffers at least for the frame buffer and MRTs.
Thanks

You should be able to, but I have a feeling the final render to texture feature of irrRenderer isn't working right now. That should be easy to fix, but I have hit a problem with the transparent materials, can anyone else confirm that they are being incorrectly rendered when they should be hidden beh...

Some how I can't get light to lit static mesh, do we need to do any setting for that? Check that you have the correct material set. Also if I resize the window do you have any method to update the renderer to the New size window? Calling clearMRTs and then createDefaultPipeline should recreate the ...

Ah if I am going to do some work on this in the future, multiple lighting models is very far down the to-do list :P I haven't even the shader callbacks to stop using calls deprecated after 1.8. Plus, I would really like to know how much everything gets broken when the shader-pipeline is merged into ...

Okay, so I have added makefiles and updated the docs (actually all that needed updating was the short example on the index page. At least I think - if there's something else wrong, let me know). You can find the new docs here: https://osense.github.io/irrRenderer . About the crash on exit - not sure...

Hmm.. the docs are definitely outdated in parts. As for the crash, I haven't tested this for quite some time and indeed, the project is pretty much abandoned at this state. I did however want to try it out the other day, but to my horror I discovered the only way to build this project is to use code...
