Irrlicht Engine

Fast "hack" that works for me-   btVector3 vector(position.X, position.Y, position.Z); btMotionState*mste=rigidBody->getMotionState(); btTransform tr; tr=rigidBody->getWorldTransform(); tr.setOrigin(vector); rigidBody->setWorldTransform(tr); mste->getWorldTransform(tr); tr.setOrigin(vector...

I think you can start to work with default engine's features right now. Builtin features mostly do not require from you to know complicated internals of the DirectX or OpenGl. And when you will become comfortable with it and standard materials will not satisfy your needs, you can learn how to use GL...

And notice for some one,who is very inattentive as I am!
You should check, if Irrlicht library compiled with enabled RTTI. Without RTTI operator "dynamic_cast" stops to work, and you will spend time to understand why.

It is not a format problem. You should generate tangents manualy.
Look at the MeshManipulator.createMeshWithTangents()

It seems it is possible. In my test project I have created many model with bones(biped) and applied skin modificator and without animation. After that I created one biped that has the same bone structure as in the models. Then I made walk animation in biped and exported all models in X format. In ir...

I have experienced this issue to. Collision mesh did not work properly. I had no clues how to workaround it until enable debug drawing. After that I saw that collision mesh(and also ITriangleSelector returned from ISceneCollisionManager) is transformed relative to original mesh(translated, rotated, ...

When I debug creating of shader I saw only creation of the new IMaterialRenderer, not material(we add it to our material later, as material type). And Material does not free renderers in destructor. That is why there is no sense to drop material in order to unload shader. Please correct me if I am w...

I also didn't find official way to remove compiled shaders, that is why I have following workaround, and it seems it work good:   //add shader s32 newMaterialType = gpu->addHighLevelShaderMaterialFromFiles(                 vsFileName, "vertexMain", video::EVST_VS_1_1,                 psFil...

Irrlicht can be compiled from sources very easy. Just checkout it from svn svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/irrlicht/code/trunk then in folder source/Irrlicht there are many preconfigured projects(for Visual Studio and Code::Block): Irrlicht.sln, irrlicht.cbp,Irrlicht10.0.vcxproj. Just open it with the IDE a...

I have tried several times to compile and run irrlicht 1.8 with mingw on Windows 7, but with many troubles. It always threw SEG_FAULT on every irrlicht function. Only solution - recompile engine from sources, and then use new dll and lib file. But in this case I didn't make it work with DirectX, onl...

It works, I have checked in my own project. There are troubles with some models in X format. You should make Reset X Form in 3dsMax before export.
Also it is very usefull to enable debug view in Bullet to see whats going wrong.

I think this project will help you:
http://code.google.com/p/irrbp/source/b ... /convert.h
http://code.google.com/p/irrbp/source/b ... shBody.cpp

In convert.h you can find method irrMeshToBulletTriangleMesh, that make actual conversion.

I really want it too.
Please, Sudi,(or someone who have already downloaded sources and binaries with shaders) reupload this beautiful deferred renderer. Even if it doesn't work with new Irrlicht

I have a similar problem with X files that I export from 3ds max. My workaround: In 3ds max I select my model and in utils press "resetXForm". And than in configuration of the xForm modifier, move center point to the center of the object, and then merge all my modifiers. After that it work...

Just switched to "Release" and in settings add debug information to the project. After that I was able to attach debugger to launched application and trace it line by line
