Irrlicht Engine

You mean things like glew would stop working? Now that'd be a really jerkish move.

Well there already exist drivers for Win8, for example here: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pa ... ivers.aspx

At least OpenGL drivers should work fine, as far as M$ does not introduce artificial barriers.

I just filed a bug report.

Yes I tested it, there is a bug with glGenerateMipmap(), it seems that it doesn't like 1px textures. In Irrlicht this method only gets called until the EVDF_FRAMEBUFFER_OBJECT and EVDF_MIP_MAP_AUTO_UPDATE features are available and GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap was defined (last one was of course defined ...

I am using the latest trunk version right now. I will write an OpenGL example and test it again.

Could be a driver bug, but I tested it with Mipmapping first and it showed me a black screen... Don't get me wrong, I also thought it was strange that it was black. xD Edit: You made me curious, so I double checked it. If mipmapping is enabled, the screen stays black. o_O Edit2: Okay, I don't get wh...

I whipped a quick demo up, it certainly works here. If vertex textures didn't work, you'd see white instead of pink. #ifndef PINK_PNG_H #define PINK_PNG_H static const unsigned char pink_png[] = { 0x89, 0x50, 0x4e, 0x47, 0x0d, 0x0a, 0x1a, 0x0a, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x0d, 0x49, 0x48, 0x44, 0x52, 0x00, ...

You forgot to provide a link to your blog.

I don't know if this is still up to date, but maybe this will help you: http://irrlicht3d.org/wiki/index.php?n= ... 9WithMinGW

Download the SDK, go to source/Irrlicht/ and open Irrlicht-gcc.cbp with Codeblocks. Compile the library and copy the .dll from the bin/Win32-gcc/ directory to your Project-directory.

Or use PNG format.
Anyways the HDR looks really nice (and the model too).

Hm, no problem with that I guess. Sadly I lost the code that produced that error, so I can't reproduce it neither. Maybe I had some strange material settings applied to the box or the graphics drivers had a bug (changed my graphics card from Radeon HD 4870 to Radeon HD 6950 today). But thanks, I thi...

Check if device is NULL.

Would be nice if the build targets would be seperated. I modified the cbp too so that it outputs Irrlicht.a and Irrlichtd.a seperatly.
