Irrlicht Engine

I use IrrSR software Render for both mac and z80,
i don't see any better performance graphic ever,
but I think is a little faster on z80 than mac.

that would be great!

flik.... problem: Irr uses 16bit buffer for D3D for example you only have to change a constant from 16 to 32 in implementation of D3D9 driver and that work.

The differences you enconter between OGL and D3D may be are the cordinate system, OGL has Right Hand CS and D3D has Left Hand CS.

I can made transparent rtt without problem, the shading process to materialize a face(s) is independent of rtt, rtt only fills a texture buffer, the material has a ...

set material flag Gouraud Shading to false.

supose you have this struct...

struct SPlayer
{
short int Health;
short int Weapon;
};
SPlayer myPlayer;

for write that you have to...

irr::io::IWriteFile fwrite = IrrDevice->getFileSystem()->createAndOpenFile(file);
fwrite->write(reinterpret_cast<char *>(&myPlayer), sizeof(SPlayer));


For ...

very true, i read wrong your post, don't saw thats links.
So that percent is a lot!! and open infinite posibilities to irrlicht because
we can forget a little about performance care and dedicate it to something else.

you put the same links... can you write the url again?


- added Billboard ...

I don't know how it works, all the things you removed do irrlicht render faster?
for example.... loaders are out of render loop, so how it can affect the performance? ...is because the dll keeps samller than the original?

Hi,
I think 3 things:

1- If the model is lightmaped
May be the second Uv's is set wrong.

2- http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8075

3- Have you the same model loaded two times and one of them don't
materialize so it get black?

P.D
thanks for you aproach to Newton Character ...

Guest:
I think you can go with Irrlicht 100% even if it don't have any more development even been a "beta" version Irrlicht works very well and have many features to do graphics for a very decent game.
If Irrlicht walks a side of any versions of D3D and OGL wich see the light... that is completly ...

Lol

What is LSCM mapping?

You can texture->drop(); when no need no more

There is not ambient light, ambient light is denominated when the light not affect the model directly.

You can set ambient color of the material just like you set the diffuse color

I don't reallay apreciate the changes in the scene when setting
ambient color != diffuse color, even proffesional 3D ...

Anywone has some code to made light map with 3 textures?
something like diffuse 2 layers + lightmap ?

May by you can't setting correct flags for material,
try put true on these material flags:

ZwriteEnable
ZBuffer
BackFaceCulling

that makes zorder work, but another thing is needed to use TransparentVertexAlpha:

when you create mesh you have to set the alpha value of vertex color less than 1.0 to ...
