Irrlicht Engine

[quote="VillageIdiot"]I noticed that too, but only with Direct3D8 and Direct3D9. I changed the material flag EMF_BLEND_OPERATION to true and it appears to fix it. I am a newb with Irrlicht, so there may be some side effects on turning on this flag which I do not know.[/quote] hi i tested i...

[quote="CuteAlien"]You can render into a texture and then use this texture in an IGUIImage element (be careful not to render the IGUIImage itself when doing that). And you can certainly put that into a window.[/quote] ok, i understand... but the behavior of clicking and picking an so on ar...

[quote="CuteAlien"]Sorry no, windows are not yet resizable. I remember last time I did that (I think before Irrlicht 1.0 - I was not in the team yet back then) it also needed several changes in the event-system to allow doing that as a gui-element. So for now you're pretty much on your own...

Hi

is it possible to make a window added with addWindow() resizeable like 'normal' win32-windows (with controlls etc.)?

and may i render into this windows insteat of the main?

The goal is to create an multi-window-application with the internal gui...

thx for hints/help

[quote="Radikalizm"]Any particular reason why you really don't want to use shaders? They're extremely useful for situations like these and from what I understand they could help you out perfectly in your case, but if you're targeting a platform with no programmable pipeline features (eg. O...

[quote="Radikalizm"] Could you define "if they are in the foreground"? Do you mean that you want objects to become see-through when they get close to the near-plane? If so, the easiest way to accomplish that IMO would be by using a shader which manipulates vertex color alpha depe...

hi

i have some animatedscenenodes readin from several OBJ-files with solid textures inthere
defined over the OBJ-materialfiles etc...

now i want to make some of them semitransparent if they are in foreground.

what do i have to add to the scenenodes for this?

some hints out there?

thanx

Hi

is it possible to switch from opengl device to software-renderer without reloading the scene?

thx

Hi
is it possible to disable retrieving shadows on an object (animated mesh) with stencilbuffer shadows?
(not casting...)
thanx
max

[quote="hybrid"]Can you reproduce this with other meshes, maybe the default ones from SDK? Does this happen without drawing shadows already? Which driver do you use?[/quote] I tested it on direcx and opengl and with several (own exportet) modells. without shadows the objects are transparen...

Hi out there...

in my programm i readin obj-files with textures and transparent surfaces.

if i turn on stencil-buffer shadows the tranparent parts switches to solid.

why?
some hints?

thx
max

Hi
if i turn stencilbuffer shadows on, my transparent parts switch to solid colors
(may be they are very dark, not realy solid...)
The shadows and lightning seems to be ok...
Whould be nice to have some hints about this problem...
thanks

Hi

is it possible to show parts in foreground transparent instead of cutting them
away with the near option in camerasettings automaticaly?

thangs

[quote="Radikalizm"]Unless you have a static camera 90% of the time, doesn't this kind of beat the point of having shadows at all? (not to mention that this would look rather ugly) You could always set your shadow volume scene nodes as invisible while updating your camera to achieve what y...

Hi folks

because the stencilshadows sometimes are slow (on old computers or
large scenes) i want to enable them only if the program is idle and
switch them off if i move the camera...

for this i need some hints to solve it.

thanks
