Irrlicht Engine

Not directly. I'm waiting until some sort of Level of Detail is implemented for terrains. I'm researching other things about making simulatators that I'll bring back to this project at some point.

Here's the rotation code that I use in Reisender . Good Luck!



\\get rotation of the node
vector3df rot node->getRotation();


\\create a clean matrix and set the rotation
matrix4 currentmat;
currentmat.setRotationDegrees(rot);


\\create a clean matrix that contains our desired relative ...

I apoligize if getRotationDegrees() wasn't working correctly for you guys. I posted the code to that function a long time ago and perhaps it has limitations that are causing these errors. I used it to help update rotation every frame in my flight sim Reisender (before quaternions were in Irrlicht ...

corsair model by rUDYmNV (Free from TurboSquid).

neat idea!

p.s.
Eve-Corp is looking great!

I think your light isn't quite high enough to shine on the edges of your map. The edges of your terrain drop down so there is no way for the light to hit it. If you want it to shine on your terrain like the sun, you'll need to put the lightnode very far away with a very large "radius". Or you can ...

No.

The only idea I have is putting a scenemanager->drawAll(); before your env->drawAll();

wait till you try to add a triangle selector

My 256x256 heightmap is currently taking 30 seconds to load the triangle selector.
I'm trying to remember but I think a 1024x1024 took about 10 minutes to load a triangle selector (for collision detection)

sorry about that, forgot the quotes, try this I'm a newbie too!

Currently "Level of Detail" is not implemented with terrains, which means there are a ton of triangles. Currently I get better performance creating a TerrainMesh first and then creating an OctTreeSceneNode. Also, Performance really takes a nosedive if the heightmap is larger than 256x256. However ...

This is for steve. As far as I know, standard cameras are rotated by camera->setTarget(). They do not respond to node rotation changes because they have to point at their assigned target. Currently I have to update this target every frame to make the camera behave. Perhaps one of the guru's can give ...

The terrain was created using scenemanager->addTerrainMesh().
Heightmap was created in Gimp.

Terrain Texture was created using TerrTexGen 1.5.

Terrain Textures were acquired from

Don't underestimate niko or you'll find yourself in an infinite loop
