Irrlicht Engine

Thanks for the correction AlexL!

That makes me curious as to how displacement mapping saves any trouble then... hmm something to research I suppose!

Thank you kindly!

Egad, not a very friendly place eh!

Actually google is the first place I looked . I ended up with a bunch of unrelated material. Couldn't find quite what I was looking for.

I tried searching but didn't come up with anything helpful.

What is detail mapping? I can clearly see the effects of course but... how does this differ from, say, throwing a bumpmap on the terrain?

Nope, doesn't add any more polys to the mesh which is the great part!

Yeah, I think Doom3 does incorporate displacement maps. Not entirely sure though. Certainly you could do displacement mapping with the same hardware you use for parallax mapping?

Hey,

New here and I'm loving the rich feature set of Irrlicht (nice German name BTW!). Not sure if this is the right forum so please move it if necessary!

I'm curious if there are any plans to implement displacement mapping in a future version. I'm not sure if this is viable in a game type ...
