Irrlicht Engine

What error does it give you?

Not to give you more questions to answer but note that Irrlicht works with ZIP files so you may have to see what compresses the best as well, if you truly want to go for the smallest file size.

I suppose we should get the simple stuff out of the way as well:
- You're rendering with DirectX or OpenGL, right (as opposed to software)? Have you tried switching from one to the other? Does that change performance?
- And each sphere is composed of a "reasonable" amount of polys, right?

rogerborg, thanks a lot for the code!! I needed to do this as well.

sio2, thank you!! You solved my problem indirectly, I think. The problem was that I didn't hide the biped. I'm pretty sure it still exported them (otherwise, when I uncheck that export option, it doesn't animate) but hiding the biped got rid of the white specks. It also doesn't show up in the Direc...

bitplane and strong99, the "large sections of the mesh" I'm guessing you're talking about are the bones. I specifically don't want those displayed so that's perfect but I believe they're supposed to be exported from Max so I did. (Otherwise it gave me errors and didn't even animate in Irrl...

Definitely.

or
site with link on it (in case direct doesn't work)

The file includes:
IrrlichtXFileTest06AnimatingRenamed.max
texture.bmp
panda2.x (exported from Max)
panda2dx.x (saved from DirectX viewer - this is the one loaded by the program)

I just tried it but no luck. I thought I'd throw the code in here as well at this point. (It's 99% from the example.) int main() { IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice( video::EDT_DIRECT3D9, dimension2d<s32>(640, 480), 16, false, false, false, 0); device->setWindowCaption(L"Hello World! - Irrl...

So, after hours of searching and playing with settings, I finally got my DirectX mesh animating into a modified example program. Yay! And it's beautiful, except that there are these mysterious white specks in places. :? http://images.filecloud.com/374173/guy.gif More than that, while the arm waves, ...

Awesome!! Thanks Elise and Grey Lantern!

(Also, just a heads-up that it's just clear(), not clearall() that clears everything, at least in my version (0.10.0))

Sounds like a simple question and I'm sure the solution is simple but I couldn't find an answer on these forums. My problem is that I want to load a level, play in it, drop it, then load another but when I looked in the Irrlicht help for a create function for nodes, I couldn't find one. I understand...

GFXstyLER, you seriously made my week! Thank you very much for that solution. Guest, your post helped too. I didn't even notice that I put that line in the wrong place. Thank you as well. One day, hopefully, we'll have a good virtual timer to use in Irrlicht. Until then I think I'll have to just go ...

Thanks, and I actually did that already but even if I did implement that method, it still won't solve my problem (of the camera being jittery). Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix that?

Currently, in my source, I am limiting the frame rate to about 60FPS so that it runs the same speed on my computer and any computer faster than mine. (My searches never came up with a good way to do timers.) Here's the relevant code: while(!game.gameover) { // Cheap way to limit a system to 60FPS wh...

If you're new to C++, and if you haven't done it yet, I suggest first seeing if you can even compile and run an example. Look through the tutorials on how to do this.

After that try changing an example from loading one of their meshes to one of yours.
