Re: Mesh normals not changing or messed up after altering me

Thanks, it worked. It is quite costly. For now I've figured out an alternate (call setScale only once I'm doing editing vertices).

However, why doesn't sceneManager->getMeshManipulator()->recalculateNormals( meshBuffer); work? It doesn't seem to be as costly as setScale.

Mesh normals not changing or messed up after altering mesh?

Hi, So I wrote a basic terrain editor. My terrain has a shader which uses normals (NORMAL semantic) to calculate lighting and the texture blending. However, whenever I alter the mesh's vertices's positions manually, then the shader won't update the lighting/texture on the mesh itself until I've comp...

Re: Raycasting not accurate after manually altering mesh?

I thought that when "refreshing" the mesh (node->setPosition( node->getPosition() )) it would automatically recalculate the terrain triangle selector. But I'm probably wrong, I'll check it out, thanks.

Raycasting not accurate after manually altering mesh?

Hi, I use a very simple raycast function to get the Y height of the collision point from the camera to the terrain (cast ray from camera->getPosition() to camera->getPosition() + vector3df( 0, -10000, 0 ) ). However, after manually moving the terrains vertices up/down, the Y position of the ray stay...

Solved. I exported the .X mesh with wrong options, thanks to Bear_130278 for a helpful post which I found in the forum somewhere.

If anyone has this issue, just post here and I will tell you exactly what to do.

Does anybody have a idea how I could implement a simple function like bool OnGround() using IrrBP? I know how to do it with the default Irrlicht collision manager (shoot a ray from character base position to -10 by Y axis from character base position - if collided, then the char is on ground). Edit....

Animation not displayed/rendered?

So.. I imported a .X file which has a walk animation from frames 1-25. Whenever I press KEY_KEY_W I want the model to play the animation. This is the code I have currently. if( torsoNode ) { f32 frameNumber = torsoNode->getFrameNr(); if( frameNumber < 1 || frameNumber > 25) frameNumber = 1; torsoNod...

Yeah, and then the FPS also drops drastically for some reason.

I tried to reproduce it, but I can't. It seems the problems root is deeper within my code.. :/

Here's what I'm basically doing, though. (pastebin links).

When I comment that snippet of code, then it renders fine ... This is what I exactly do. 1) Create "Player" class before main loop. 2) In the main loop, I call player->Rotate(), which is basically this: //offset is a vector3df. //cameraDirection is f32. vector3df rootPos = rootNode->getPos...

I've traced the error to these lines: vector3df rootPos = rootNode->getPosition(); camera->setTarget( rootPos ); camera->setPosition( rootPos + offset ); rootNode->setRotation( vector3df( 0, cameraDirection, 0 ) ); If I uncomment those lines of codes, then there's no graphical glitches. Btw, even if...

[Solved] Camera view messed up?

I'm trying to create a camera by writing this before the main loop.

ICameraSceneNode *cam;
cam = sceneManager->addCameraSceneNode();


It does create the camera.. however, the camera only displays half of the screen. The upper half is completely gray. Why is this so?

Oh my god, I seriously wish you would've told me that earlier.
