Irrlicht Engine

Well there is a huge source of models http://nwvault.ign.com/ containing a lot of work from lot of people (word-builders of old neverwinter nights 1 RPG game) Actually theese models are not that easy to handle but I've made a support for loading them in Irrlicht. Well MDL files are pretty complex co...

Code a bit bugfixed (while I'm using it, I've found few minor bugs) - links to current version in the first post.

Ok there's real working modern RPG camera done through animator - same way as FPS and Maya camera: [maybe I overlooked it's somewere here but I guees.. if it would be here. Irrlicht developers would already add it to irrlicht] (Animator source) http://www.mediafire.com/?em3b9apzzlymois or direct htt...

I've got similar problem http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/v ... =7&t=45295 not solved unfortunately

http://danpburke.blogspot.com/2011/03/opengl-vertex-buffer-objects.html I've found nice blog about doing OpenGL skinning.. However well.. I was looking inside COpenGLDriver and did not found the way how to do it for harware stored buffers since I need to add them atrributes using something like glV...

Oki one more test dunno if ideal but just for ya :P I added used dwarf but not the one from irrlicht but I used the original from psionic... "dwarf2.b3d" I've made 30 dwarfs all visible all with different animation frame loop and some with different animation speed. (well dwarf is not so i...

OK, but your meshes are so small that it is difficult to see any gain. That is why general scene handling and rendering take up so much time. Particularly if you want to use hardware skinning, it really is worth putting a large (or a large number of) mesh(es) in the scene. Give me link to some file...

Have you actually tried using the OpenGL renderer, say? Well to see how the scene looks like I did, however for tests I used NULL driver! (how would you exect I'd get 2k+ FPS with openGL? :P You have four skinned models sharing the same mesh, so it would be interesting to see if they each have thei...

Maybe we should have asked you earlier: what are you system specs I guess it's somewere up there but I'm programming on my notebook VAIO VGN-SZ460N (its 2GHz core 2 Duo CPU with Intel integrated i945GM) I may use Nvidia graph card too but I'm saving power :) [Linux Mint 12] Ok hope I've finished de...

It might be more economical to improve the current irrlicht implementations rather than replacing them entirely at this point in time (unless the irrlicht devs feel otherwise). Ofc that this is your choice but I decided to make it as fork coz it was a pretty big problem to change SkinMesh somehow w...

Well I was thinking much more about implementation and testing and I've found some problems that I've of course solved :twisted:.. ok not all but let's see the progress on this piece of code so.. Animated Mesh loaded from file contain: Joints (actually names of bones used later for Mesh organization...

There is something to do this in irrlicht -

I'm not sure i your class differ so much maybe do it as an extension to IReferenceCounted

I'm trying to get my head around where the processing speed gains are coming from, because usually uploading attributes per vertex (weights and IDs) to a shader is faster as far as rendering goes so your method is likely to backfire as soon as you try GPU skinning, even though currently it seems fa...

Those are numbers we can work with :D How much optimization do you think can be applied to this? You're almost getting a 1 ms speed increase which can result in a significant speed increase in crowded scenes, but even more would be better of course I'd be interested to see where you could go with t...
