Topic: Opaque mesh interior?
Replies: 6

Okay, I've got a basic understanding of this. I need to cast a ray from the camera, determine how far through the fog object the ray went, and then adjust the opacity of the object, pixel by pixel. I know the engine is already ray-tracing, and to try to do it again would be retardedly inefficient. I...

Audacity is a nifty free audio editor.

If you are looking for an animation program, you can use GMax (its a free version of 3DS Max) with the MD3 export plug-in.

Unfortunately MD3 is not well supported by Irrlicht. You can use a nice free converter like Biturn to make it a more compatible format.

I think the easiest way would be to create ALL of your GUI elements at the start, and then instead of creating them when clicked, just make them visible when they are needed and when they aren't. I did that with my own games. If you use windows check they are still there and if they are gone re-crea...

What I wanted to do with this is to go for a cheap blanket of fog effect. I was thinking of making a box which is filled with the fog color, which gets lighter in alpha value near the top. What you have said made me think I could just put a visible billboard in front of the camera if it is in the me...

Opaque mesh interior?

Is it possible to 'fill' a mesh with a particular color, so that when the camera is inside of the mesh that color is displayed?

You have to have an electronic device broadcasting radio waves to make it burn... so unless it takes VERY little power it would be just like having an electric car with an extra useless step... As for cancer treatment I don't know anything about that. However, if it makes WATER burn I don't think it...

Could you write me a quick example or the event receiver?

Everything... I mean, something to do with the fact that is a function that comes before the main one and it is referencing nodes and stuff that have not yet been made. Did that make any sense? Main is always ran first. Functions can't call themselves. When you write a function before main the prog...

That would make it so that when you jump you start slow and end fast? Usualy when you jump you start fast and end slow. :P I also don't understand the event handler... I don't think Irr's gravity is fancy enough to start you slow. I think you just move a set number of units based on time. What do y...
