Irrlicht Engine

Well, that certainly sucks... Do you know if it's possible to create a static method to load 3d models and return a mesh in the scene manager that doesn't require a device? Worst case scenario I'll have to preload the meshes and send them to different threads or send them by request. Certainly not t...

Hello. So I have a question regarding thread safety and Irrlicht. I'm working on a block style game, similar to Minecraft but not really in some ways. I have a blocky terrain which I generate as meshes and meta data in one or more different threads than the renderer thread for performance reasons. I...

If you compile Bullet with the preprocessor BT_USE_DOUBLE_PRECISION it uses doubles internally for all calculations instead of floats. Basically it changes vectors, scalars, et.c into double. This makes raycasts much more accurate among other things.

Been making use of this super cool project because I'm making a block type game and want the ability to place many lights. So far I've had little problems and it's running great, actually I haven't noticed any drop in performance at all. There was one problem I had which was that some pixels would b...

You'll have to use either SMeshBufferLightmap. (Or CDynamicMeshBuffer.)

Thank you so much! This was the problem, I just changed the mesh type to SMeshBufferLightMap and now it's working

I did some more testing this time with a color output from the pixel shader. I also tried to load a normal texture instead of an array and the same problem persists so I don't think it has anything to do with the code changes from Hendu's patch. Anyways I discovered something peculiar. Both of these...

Hello. I was wondering if anyone knows how to access multiple texture coords in a GLSL shader using meshes build with S3DVertex2TCoords vertices. I've patched texture array support made by hendu into Irrlicht and I need some way to select different textures with my shader. My first texture coordinat...

Cool stuff. Many thanks for doing this

By the way, the VS project in the latest git commit doesn't compile because there are a ton of I assume intentionally removed source files that are still listed in the project. Did you mean to do away with Irrlicht's native GUI?

That fixed it. Thank you for your help

This stuff is very confusing since I don't know anything about low level graphics.

Hello. I'm very new to shaders and graphics programming in general but I've been experimenting with simple shaders to understand how they work. One thing I don't understand is why the position of the vertices seems to change in my vertex shader when I move around the camera position and change the a...

irrlicht license... no repo no diffs, you can diff against 1.8.1 ........ the reason, I'm waaaaaayyyy too busy I can however upload a zip to a hosting service of your choosing Sure that would be fantastic! You could upload it on something like https://mega.nz/ or email me directly if you'd rather d...

This is really cool stuff, I had no idea something like this existed. Is this a version that branched off from Irrlicht a few years ago? I'm interested in using it but I don't know if it's compatible with my code since I'm using 1.8.1. I suppose trying it out won't hurt though :P Also 32 index suppo...

I'm using the latest stable version 1.8.1 and when the frame rate changes the collision response animator changes gravity so if I'm falling the fall speed drops drastically and if FPS drops low jumps become much shorter. I figure this has to do with the fact that something is off with the timer. Is ...

Try debugging - print out the rotation every frame and see if you notice anything special when it starts to glitch. Maybe print out 'Target' as well. Good idea. I tried doing this before setPosition(), between setPosition() and setRotation() and after setRotation(). The rotation of the camera doesn...

I'm sorry for reviving an old thread but I've been gone for a long time due to illness. I want to take up programming again though. I don't think your problem is that the camera rotates twice per frame. Because a frame is when you draw the scene - so you wouldn't be able to see that as it wouldn't d...
