Irrlicht Engine

I second this, scons is quite good but for most of the devs here are more or less solo OS users/developers, it wouldn't be dramatically useful .

You could post a demo and have a look at other people's results?

Octrees are quite possible to be optimised using vbos.... however, i believe i struggled a little last time attempted to do that.
I modified the interface to support chosing between dynamic indices/static vertices etc...
and proceeded to modify irrlicht to use VBOs everywhere... but it got terribly ...

I've told LukePH and hybridOL (and a number of #irrlicht lurkers) already, but as I noticed probably jamming bug reports into the irc channel is probably not the best thing -> here's a bug report.

Basically, irrlicht is not strict aliasing safe, according to gcc, and by default with 4.2x and above ...

also some trouble may arise if multiple nodes share the same mesh and some are static and some are not

The 'static meshes' can be 'static to the hardware' and 'not fully static to irrlicht'. So if the mesh is static, it can still be modified, but internally, irrlicht's VBO implementation can be ...

Ouch... First off I am not doing this to become famous, I am doing this because alot of younger people (kiids) want to get into game programming but don't know where to start. Secondly, I have been programming games for around four and half years now and have developed quite a few and NO those ...

I'm working on this too, perhaps we should work together? I'm quite busy these days but I'm sure I can help out :)

I like the idea of IHardwareMeshBuffer... hmmm can I contact via ...

Doom used a raycasted engine -> it was more like 2.5d...

1fps is pretty bad .

What is the resolution of an IPod?

Edit: 320x240

Hmmmm just maybe its possible? It really depends actually-> has anyone managed a 3d app in ipod.

Ok here's a pre-pre-alpha of what i've done so far... basically this is a dump of my source and nothing to be proud of :)

MeshBuffers, Meshes, DX9 and OGL, MD2 animation and terrain scene node have vertex buffering.

You might like to have a look at the opengl extensions because those are ...

I was wondering whether the implementation of some of the scene nodes should use vertex buffering implicitly if the capability is supported and there are no disadvantages to using them (except of course using video memory). For example, the terrain scene node, all the data is already stored in mesh ...

Burning Video's software renderer is pretty good, but fps is pretty bad .

No I'm not an irrlicht-core developer, but this question has already been answered.

I've realised converting the colours prior to creating vertex buffers is sufficient. Then the vertex buffer contain the correct colour encoding for opengl and there is not runtime implication.

I will look into display lists as well... But need to keep up with my Uni work :S.
