Irrlicht Engine

t's probably best to keep SMeshBuffer as pointer not as object (it kinda works when one is careful, but is bad style usually as it's derived from a reference-counted object, I should change that in my code as well). No, it's not. Setting lifetime of variables by scope is the default way. Almost eve...

I'm having few problems: 1. How should I instantiate MeshBuffer? Just irr::scene::SMeshBuffer MeshBuffer which triggers default ctor? 2. irr::core::matrix4 trans(some_base_transformation_from_a_scene_node_or_so); . How to I get it? Should I get transformation from my parent-to-be object? Can I const...

This line     // reset rt     videoDriver->setRenderTarget((irr::video::ITexture *)nullptr, 0); Is pretty strange for me. While I understand your intent, why are you trying to convert nullptr (even with old C-like syntax)? This keyword was created to be implicitly convertibe to any pointer type with...

As in title. I searched forum, found few threads mentioning iTextSceneNode (will this work for 2d?) and others rendering IGUIStaticText to Texture. I have also searched IrrExt classes and their's text has no rotation functionality either. I don't reall know which one to choose and how to do it. What...

Seems it was just reposted to highlight code the C++ way, not as raw text

When I have started reading code from examples, I was a bit scared that Irrlicht is old and unmaintained. I was mostly scared by all methods that return pointers and lack of references in the first glance. I'm more used to modern C++ (11 or 14 standard) where things like Object* obj; int arr[10]; ar...

I like Irrlicht more, but that's mainly because there is no engine for what i have in mind and Irrlicht is the easiest to program and extend. I like how Irrlicht allows me to do everything custom. I don't like old-C++like features like inheriting from irr::IReferenceCounted, but fortunately C++14 s...

Updated topic. Added error message and new question

Win32 is Windows specific. There seems to be no problem passing HWND to Irrlicht. The whole Windows API operates on void pointers.

Thanks for the idea. SFML uses SDL internally, so I should search forum for SDL, but look into unix specific examples.

So what I want is to render using Irrlicht into a window created by SFML example of it: http://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2.4.1/ I want to use SFML due to it's very modern C++ code (enum classes, const/rvalue references, almost no pointers, ...) etc and due to it's flexibility with SFGUI (http:/...
