Irrlicht Engine

I tried a few experiments:
If I change the far value to 200, I have to place the objects at a minimum distance of 80 pixels (on the Z axis) for the problem to go away.
If I change the far value to 50000, I still need to place the objects at a minimum of 80 pixels (nothing changes).
If, however, I ...

Thank you, that works like a charm in this case. But what should I do if I want to use a transparent texture for the other scene node too?

I solved the problem using Color Mask (material properties)
For the rest, yes, colormask is the best way here.

Can you elaborate, please? :) I think I'm having a similar problem with a transparent texture. I have two scene nodes: one with a transparent texture (blue circle) on top of another ...

Wouldn't scaling the objects change their size? I want the objects to maintain their size regardless of their distance from the camera, just like in an orthogonal projection. I only want them to move slower when moving the camera to give the illusion of depth. Think of a space shooter with multiple ...

Hello,

I have a rather simple question and I apologize if it has been asked before. I use a camera with an orthogonal projection for a 2D game and I want to give the user the illusion of depth using the scene nodes' Z position.

I will give an example: With an orthogonal projection, the scene nodes ...

Hey folks. Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it. Here's what I've come up with:

In the second image you can also see the polygons (red and green) used to generate the cave. The blue ones are used for collision detection (check ...

Finally, this worked: I knew it was something extremely simple. Thank you blAaarg and Bear_130278 for your help.

@pippy3: I know it would be easier to use a 2d engine like PyGame, Allegro, SFML, etc., but I'm willing to take the challenge. :)

@brainsaw: It would be great if you could share that project of yours, even if it runs with an older version of Irrlicht. Although I won't be generating an image for the ...

Hello. This is my first attempt at making a game and I will appreciate any help you can give me. :)

I want to make a 2D game where you control a tiny ship in a cave of some sort. This cave will be created automatically (random levels) and will look like this:

Thanks garrittg! You're our hero!
Funny thing that I was just looking for this today.

I have tried that but it doesn't do anything.

Here is my project so far:
#include "irrlicht.h"
#include <math.h>

using namespace irr;
using namespace core;
using namespace scene;
using namespace video;

int main()
{
SIrrlichtCreationParameters deviceParameter;
deviceParameter.DriverType = EDT ...

Thank you! :D I've managed to move the camera and zoom in. Yay! I couldn't get the camera to rotate, though. I get a blank screen without any objects.

Just to be sure I've made myself clear, this is how I would like to rotate the camera:

Hello,

I've created an orthogonal camera using the following code:
ICameraSceneNode * camera = smgr->addCameraSceneNode();
matrix4 ortho;
ortho.buildProjectionMatrixOrthoLH(800, 600, 1, 500);
camera->setProjectionMatrix(ortho, true);
camera->setPosition(vector3df(0, 0, 0));
camera ...
