Irrlicht Engine

And just like that. Works great with AGG. The great thing I discovered about AGG is that it is essentially .h and .cpp file that you pull into your code. No DLLs, libs, or other binary component. On the other hand, it appears not to be maintained recently as the last release was 8 years ago. Looks p...

Thank you. I think that make sense. I will give that a try.

Interesting suggestion. Indeed, AGG does seem like it may offer a very good promise. I also see that in 06.2DGraphics sample, the example demonstrates the use of draw2DImage() call that seems to do exactly what I need to overlay an in-memory RGBA image onto the rendering surface. If I can use AGG to...

Are there any recommended 2D shape drawing libraries? I have seen "MagicLibrary" in the forums but it appears to focus heavily on the sprite and effects rather than working with geometry. I am looking for efficient libraries that does things like weighed lines (wider than 1 pixel), pattern...

Based on my experiments, the camera FOV appears to be diagonal. See my recent post about horizon in 2D. There is a code snipped in there to get the H and V component of camera FOV as well.

I think I got to a reasonable results. There are couple assumptions that were false. First, the screen is not equirectangular projection. It seems that the it takes more of a Lambert projection. So I can't simply apply linear displacement. Instead, I need to actually compute the distance from the ey...

Now that I got the 3DoF camera motion figured out, I am onto the next challenge. Overlaying some 2D elements on top of the 3D depiction. Starting with something simple (or so I thought). Drawing a 2D line on the screen where the horizon should be in 3D. To do that, I wanted to start with where the &...

I figured it out. As it turns out, I was pretty close. Just a matter of reading the header more deeply and thinking through the rational of things. One thing I needed to get through my thick skull was that "BindTargetAndRotation" on the camera meant the opposite of what I thought it meant....

Hmmm... Let me see if I understand the reply correctly. So what you are saying is that you control the direction the camera points at by moving the target and then roll the view using the quints math in the code above? That seems to match what I am observing since I am able to roll the camera but no...

I just started playing with Irrlicht a couple days ago. I took the "terrain" example and I am trying to manipulate the camera such that I can look around the terrain, look up and down, and tilt my head. First thing I did was to replace the FPS camera with SceneMode camera. Then, I found a ...
