Irrlicht Engine

Happy new year - a bit late.

I hope to come back to gamedev soon :>

A bit late, I'm busy doing something else, but please keep in mind this is a tutorial thread.
There are other threads for problems encountered, thanks for your comprehension.

Hi, sorry for the title, I couldn't describe it better. I want to generate pseudo random creatures like Spore did (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRovPCiBBTw). Basically, the animation would be the same, stored in a file, but every "creature" would be with custom face/arms/legs/hands/feet...

I made rockets, bullets, grenades, mines and lasers using bullet + irrlicht. It depends. Rocket is basically a 3D mesh + a particle emitter attached that creates the trail. Bullets are simple meshes, same for grenades and mines. Lasers work differently since it's just an instant ray from A to B (no ...

Is your graphic card a GeForce or ATI?

I tried a google search and ended up with gwen stefani stuff, what exactly is GWEN?

Did you try switching the if statements? What was the result?

http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum//viewtopic.php?t=26702 You could code a shader. Getting your terrain height isn't that hard. Cast a ray from a very high point in the sky in a straight down line (like from irr::core::vector3df(0.f,4096.f,0.f)to irr::core::vector3df(0.f,-1024.f,0.f) ), and get t...

Disregard this post, I don't have the latest release I just tried Render to texture. It doesn't work either on OGLES1 or OGLES2 mapTextureRender = this->getVideoDriver()->addRenderTargetTexture(irr::core::dimension2d<irr::u32>(256,256)); This line on ogles2 simply unloads another texture, and when ...

I did multiple tests, when I rotate the terrainSceneNode mesh, the getHeight function return a wrong result.

Silly question, but since mobile phones and tablets have so many different screen ratios (ranging from 3:2 for iOS to 16:9), is the camera by default with 4/3 aspect ratio? http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/classirr_1_1scene_1_1_i_camera_scene_node.html#a5c3728a61a208376b9df6a701f4a5b3c Edit; Got...

Code first, optimize later.
