Re: Smoth lighting

Thanks for the reply.

It turns out the answer is to import from a wavefront .obj file, not a .3ds file. You can then turn on Gouraud shading and your edges get smoothed out slightly.

Smoth lighting

Hello. I've got some models imported from AC3D via 3ds format. Although I can mark the surfaces as "smooth" in AC3D once in Irrlicht the dynamic lighting shows distinct edges along each surface. I'd like to get rid of this effect. I've written a couple of software renderers (many years ago...

On my DK2 using the demo in your repo I'm finding that the view continues to move for a fraction of a second after my head stops moving. It's just enough to be noticeable and it's not something I've seen on other DK2 ...
