What's SM? Just for sake of reference.

I'm just a bit unsure what these classes would look like    SceneNodeAnimatorCameraPlayer SceneNodeAnimatorCameraTravel SceneNodeAnimatorCameraPlayer   I guess you could just create a single CAMERA object that contains two animators, one for the camera and another for the player instead? And just sw...

Your idea makes sense, but you could also wrap those constructors within that CAMERA class I showed earlier.     class CAMERA {   private:     scene::ICameraSceneNode* camera;   SceneNodeAnimatorCameraTravel* anim;     public:     CAMERA(scene::ICameraSceneNode* camera)   {     this->camera = camera...

Hi, I wrote a custom scene node animator for my camera for my strategy game. It can do standard stuff like translate through the WASD keys and zoom in and out. Now I would like to have a possibility to communicate with the camera through the class in which it is created (in this case main). For exa...

Speed is not going to be the problem for this. But it's not quite trivial. Unfortunately no time right now to explain longer - but finding the positions on the textures will be a little math. Deciding how thick to spray can be a little complicated. And deciding how to handle painting on textures wh...

Sorry, you are just not giving enough details to give us a clue what you try to do. Seconds... you can do build whole worlds when you have seconds to spend :-) I want to make a program that simulates graffiti murals (Jet Grind Radio type gaming), something that allows real-time spraying of random n...

OK, without more specific information - just draw into the texture that's on the polyon. It's not possible to say in general that this is slow or fast. If you mean draw like - a person draws with the mouse - then it's fast enough. That would be around 1/10 of a second scale with GLSL onto a texture...

Not my speciality, so take what I say with a grain of salt. You can set things with the precision of texture-pixels (as you can write into textures). And you could also calculate if you are at certain position on the polygon in the pixelshader and then do something special when that pixel is render...

This is more of yes or no question, I've tried searching around the internet looking for a possible method for setting an individual pixel of whatever color on a polygon face or textured face. Is it possible to do this or am I chasing a red herring?

Do also add the meshbuf->recalculateBoundingBox() after append and before drop. It works correct in this case, but might be wrong in other cases - so it's better to have that line as well (although we should probably rewrite append in Irrlicht to make this work always). Sounds like a good idea alth...

Thanks Alien Here's the final version that works!   #include <irrlicht.h> #include <iostream>   using namespace irr;   class MyEventReceiver : public IEventReceiver { public:     // This is the one method that we have to implement     virtual bool OnEvent(const SEvent& event)     {         // Re...

Backface culling is not related much to scenenode culling. Backface cullings is controlled by the material and done by the graphic-card per polygon. While scenenode culling is done per scenenode and checks if the whole node has to be rendered or not. It basically checks if any part of the node is i...

Thanks for the replies so far. @CuteAlien Yes that lines works, but without it I also tried putting back the bounding box call (lines 67-70) with same result so the bounding box doesn't work as expected. I'm guessing that backface-culling won't work either. Here's the code.   #include <irrlicht.h> #...

I checked the nearvalue by calling
and I just get 1? Are these units in terms of distance from the camera or do they mean something else?

Sorry, I don't understand you, Irrlicht makes these camera problems dumbed down so folks like me can use it. Could you please elaborate?
