Irrlicht Engine

I noticed in the Irrlicht feature list that it supports point sprites.

Can someone give me an example of how to texture and draw a point sprite using Irrlicht, rather than using an IBillboardSceneNode?

Cheers!

Fixed. Was looking in IrrlichtDevice for creating a new scenemanager when I should have been looking in ISceneManager.

All works now. Thanks.

Since each one has a mesh and a position I'd have a scenenode for each entitiy.. yes? In ...

I'm making a simple top-down view 3d space game and I want to render a distant starfield in the background. I don't want it to be glued to the player like a skybox - I want the starfield to appear to move slowly relative to my ship movement. (I'm not going for realism, I'm going for fun.) I also wan...

Thanks, not sure why I didn't think of using the triangle fan idea to triangulate the quads. It now works fine. Concave polygons mess up, but that's ok because they're very rarely used by the developers. Code I used was simply: if number_of_indices is a multple of 3 add indices straight from file el...

I'm in the process of writing a simple editor for an old and rather obscure game. I'm at the stage of writing code to import its 3d models into my engine built on irrlicht. I have successfully managed to import the data into custom SMeshBuffer/SMesh objects, and largely it works well. However, I not...
