Irrlicht Engine

hi,

I would like to change the engine in a way that it uses double values instead of float values. I tried to be clever and thought it would be enough to just modify irrTypes.h by changing

"typedef float f32;" to
"typedef double f32;",
so that all the templates automatically use double values ...

Thanks for the replies!

I like the approach of rendering the objects in several steps, according to their distance. But I have no idea how to do that. I tried to use the clearZBuffer() function after i've rendered one planet. Unfortunately, the engine crashes as soon as I call this function ...

Hi all

I'm having some problems with my z-buffer precision. I am trying to simulate some REALLY huge distances, i.e. a solar system. For object positioning I use vector3d<f64> and a resolution of 1 meter = 1 unit. Before rendering I move every object in the scene by the camera's position-vector. To ...

@ Guest: I don't think that setMaterial would work. This way I could apply one texture to the whole mesh, but I would like to set the texture for every triangle seperately because they all have a different LOD.

You are right about the t-junctions and the resulting ...

No idea?

Hi all!

I've been playing around with Irrlicht for some time now, and I started a little project of mine. Well, in the distant future I hope it becomes something like Frontier: First Encounters (yeah I know I'm not the only one trying this ;-) )

For now, it is nothing more than a "Planet Simulator ...
