Re: How to make 3D more realistic?

You could learn more from other examples. Play more SPORE. The Space Stage has some pretty decent graphics. The only problem it had is the lack of blinding lights from being too close to large bright space objects. Also, check out the Vega Strike project. They've been going through some serious grap...

:: Sprite Engine :: version 03_2012 (C) Keigen Shu 2011-2012. Released under the zlib License.

Re: Simple Loading Screen

It's a fake BSoD, but you can turn it into a real one right? Freeze all the user inputs?

Simple Loading Screen

Hi guys! I wrote a simple loading screen callback to keep your players informed. It also has a function "ThrowBSoD" you can use to make the game display some error messages for a few seconds and then exit if some error happened during loading. Feel free to do anything you like to suit your...

Re: Irrlicht with VSync on single-thread

Irrlicht with VSync on single-thread

Hey guys. I have a question. I wrote my game to run in a single-thread, and when you turn on VSync, something in Irrlicht (I'm guessing endScene()) would stall the code to let the screen blank itself before letting the code continue. I want to know if there is a way to just render a scene without wa...
