Irrlicht Engine

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing things up.

Hey. Me again.
So, now I need some tips on how to properly optimize my map geometry.
Currently I have it divided into chunks. Each chunk is about 64 by 64 units in size (just for testing) and contains one block. Now I could combine it all into one single mesh and use an octree buuuuuuut...
The main ...

I think I managed to do this. I indeed needed to calculate proper direction vector. here is the code:

skinnedController->UpdateBones();

for (int i = 0; i < bones.size(); i++) {
AnimationBone* animationBone = bones.at(i);
IBoneSceneNode* bone = animationBone->meshBone;

if (animationBone ...

Not really blending, but yes. I want my character to rotate torso independent from its animation. Like aiming for third person shooter. So even if torso is rotated 90 degrees to the right I want to add some rotation forward along camera's X axis.
I'm trying to convert vector3df(1,0,0) to bone's ...

Oof. That's a bummer.
Thanks for the answer. I guess I'll have to integrate my own skinning system into the engine.

Tiny hint for less typing - there's a typedef "matrix4" for CMatrix4<f32>. No need for casts - it's the same.

Yeah, just realised it. Thanks.

Hey there. Haven't been working with irrlicht in a while.
I have a problem with bones rotation.
What I'm trying to do is rotate character's bone (torso) regardless of parent bone rotation. However when I rotate bone's local matrix, it rotates it locally (as in along parent's facing direction). Let ...

Hm, it's usually not the OS as much as we coders like to blame it ;-)
Is your framerate smooth? Maybe add some simply animation which constantly runs (like some ball going left-right-left) so you can see if something is stuttering. Or add a timer in each frame and check for the worst-case.

Yes ...

No, I use ICursorControl but on windows. It seems like my pc is bending me over, but I'm not too sure. I even tried to use sfml for noise input but the problem still occurs. I'll check your other suggestions but chances are it's just my pc. Win 10 is giving me a headache sometimes.
Thanks for ...

Heyo.
So I've implemented mouse looking by getting mouse position then calculation the difference between itand ceneter of the screen and then setting mouse position tothe center. However when I hold mouse buttons (left, right or middle) it's as if receiver starts getting events far less often than ...

Ah, that explains it. Just cloned all the frames that were removed. Works like a charm.

Hello.
I'm trying to implement my own animating system by getting all rotation keys and then setting proper rotation to a joint.
However I'm stuck at the first step. I just can't get all existing keys. Now, the model is fully keyed, meaning that for each frame there is a keyframe. But whenever I try ...

Nah, the problem was the order of rendering after all. I got it solved by adding a custom scene node and rendering shadows in OnRegisterSceneNode method, effectively rendering after all nodes were animated but before they were rendered.

Hey there. I'm pretty sure this has been covered somewhere on this forum but I just can't find it.

So the problem is - I'm trying to make shadow maps. And I got it working but there is one problem - it looks like shadow maps are lagging. Depth map rendering is lagging to be exact. The current ...

Well... I made it by getting SKey rotation of the first frame. The problem is... the W coordinate was inverted by some reason. So I had to get the rotation of the bone first, then convert it to quaternion, then get W value and if it's not equal, inverse the value in the frame. Or rather in frameS ...

I was thinking there is an easier and more sophisticate way to get quaternions from the binding pose except for getting degrees from already animated model and convert them. Oh well, I guess there is no other way.
Thanks.
