Irrlicht Engine

Any tips on improving the sharpness of the texture? Try disabling filtering (bilinear/trilinear/anisotropic) and also mipmaps :) Well it did improved the sharpness of the ground textures, but at the cost of the model's texture. Is it possible to selectively enable mipmapping for specific scene node...

Okay I was a little disappointed. :( I tried this first method: http://www.splinteredcore.com/concept_art/engine/2-5d-engine-design-01.png But got this results: http://www.splinteredcore.com/concept_art/engine/irrlicht-01.png Compared to my mockup here: http://www.splinteredcore.com/concept_art/engi...

You say props are in 2D and chars in 3D. It will be interesting to see how you handle the fact that a char can be standing behind, in front or partially behind and in front of a prop :) Right now I have a few ideas in mind. Not sure if they would work though. One of them involves a custom depth buf...

Milestone 01 The first milestone would be to display a basic isometric scene with the correct camera setup, grid helper, texture splatting and shader-enabled texture blending modes. Tasks: Set up Irrlicht [done] Set up skeleton application framework Set up camera control, lock to X and Y axis Set u...

Okay this might sound crazy, but I'm going to build a 2.5D isometric engine using Irrlicht. Or at least try. The idea is this. I have ground tiles and environmental props rendered in 2D quads, while characters in 3D. The choice to use 3D for characters (e.g. Total Influence Online, FOnline, Temple o...
