Irrlicht Engine

Thanks for replies!

The Android port of the engine I'm using is based on Irrlicht 1.7.0.
Were any bugs connected with animation fixed in later releases till 1.7.2?

Thank you.

Shadowslair, thanks for reply. 1. I was hoping that setCurrentFrame() can help more quickly switch between animations. Should I even count on that? Perhaps you prompt me, in what circumstances it is appropriate to use setCurrentFrame()? 2. I use empty scene node as a parent for my animated nodes to ...

Using Irrlicht to develop a mobile game for the Android. Using the android port for GLES 1.1. There are about 15,000 polygons in the scene. Terrain, skydome, static and animated 3D objects are models of the scene. FPS is 28 - 30. Using skeletal animation. To play the animation using two meshes of fo...

Hybrid, thank you very much!

Mobile game on Android. I'm using ITextSceneNode to show players names. Name can be written in Russian. I get it from server, convert from Java to C++ through JNI. (GetStringUTFChars) As a result I get name as const char*. ITextSceneNode requires text as wchar_t*. To convert the text from const char...

Ok!
Now it's clear.

Thank you very much!

I'm sorry, but my last question was

"How can I add removed node to the scene graph again without mesh loading?"

How can I return saved pointer (*IAnimatedSceneNode) to the scene graph?

Why don't you try it yourself? I help if you get stuck and have specific questions. Ok. So, I create two nodes ISceneNode* parent = smgr->addEmptySceneNode(0, 100); IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* child = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(smgr->getMesh(workingDirectory + modelPath), parent); I want to remove ...

Animations are not calculated when the nodes are invisible, transformations are still needed. Although those are usually not so expensive. But you can also remove nodes completely from the scenegraph. Just put them into some other structure which contains 2 ISceneNode pointers. One for the parent a...

shadowslair, thank you!

Iyad, thank you very much!

Ok, thank you!
I'll try!

Have animated moving meshes for the characters.
I want to write the name of each of them over the head of the model.
How can I do that?

Thank you.

CuteAlien, how do you think can I combine terrain and static meshes with extensions
and create Octree node after that from combined mesh to get more effective
rendering by reducing draw calls this way?

Thank you!

Are the Irrlicht extensions like CBatchingMesh or CMeshCombiner suitable for animated meshes?

Thank you.
