Irrlicht Engine

Hey I think you are really into something here, it's got a bit of the 'hook' necessary for games. Good job! Some suggestions though: -Modernize the Looks of text and buttons, they are too pixelated. If I'm not mistaken Direct 2D can draw to the 3D viewport for antialiased text and shapes. Or might j...

Oh ok thanks that's interesting, sorry for reviving the zombie.
I will delve into creating the static lib now...

Does anybody have the compiled static lib?
Why isn't it included in the SDK?

Sorry to appear lazy but it would save people some time if someone has it, instead of having to figure out the compiling part, as there's always quirks.
Thanks guys! what a great engine!

I would say if you encapsulated correctly the first version of your project you should be fine. i.e separating the hardware graphics handling and the on-the-fly world creation in RAM. This way you should be able to port to a 3D engine in a straightforward manner. Technically, you should be able to t...

There is this whole convoluted formula to go from YUY2 to RGB. See below. YUY2 goes like y0, u , y1, v, so Y luma is per-pixel while uv is shared by two pixels. The conversion is pretty convoluted but it's performing surprisingly fast. I guess one could also use a GPU shader on the application, but ...

Hi all I've used several 3D engines in the past and have some experience with 3d meshes and all. But I'm just starting with Irrlicht and win32, getting away from .NET For now I'm using irrlicht to show some 2D stuff on a texture on a viewport as part of my visual recognition project. https://im1.shu...

I've got it guys!!!! Thanks to this guy: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/555313-how-do-i-keep-my-directx-window-from-turning-white-when-i-move-it/ It's rather simple, just render under WM_MOVE in wndproc     case WM_MOVE: application.update(); application.draw_graphics(); DefWindowProc(hWnd, message, w...

Oh, Ok, thanks everyone, I'm still delighted to work with Irrlicht, what a great engine.
I'll post if I work out a solution.

Thanks guys, oh well that's a bummer :cry: It's not so much the freezing of the animation that concerns me, but the thing with getting garbage on the viewport if you drag the window outside the screen and come back, it looks really unprofessional :cry: How do other guys do it? there's plenty of appl...

Thanks CuteAlien, you're right, I already have a main loop and rendering going on, that's running fine. The problem lies with certain Windows things, like moving the window with your mouse, as it holds the thread somehow and you don't come back to the main loop (to render) until you let go the windo...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum, let me start by thanking the Irrlicht team for such a great engine, I've been experimenting for a few days and it's just fantastic!!!! I'm using the engine with a Win32 window I've created. The first question I have is how to redraw the irrlicht viewport while d...
