Irrlicht Engine

Except oclussion culling, static mapping, and other algorithms like greedy meshing are there any other ways? I just want to know if I already hit the cap without 'extern' algorithms.

I have a question that came from my curiosity and maybe future improvements. Is there a way to improve performance of drawing a single mesh with a lot of meshbuffers for example like 5000?

Exactly. It was my fault. Nevermind.

Hi. Today i encountered some strange behaviour with one of the meshes. Just take a look at the atttached picture. Debug info is visible. One of "towers" have missing cubes and textures. All of them are separate meshes, created in the same way, but with offseted vertices. http://i.imgur.com...

If i recall correctly, you still can use append with vertices and indices directly, and works as expected. Yeah, I tried this. It works, but in that case there is no option to set Material for separate "buffers". Btw i'm searching for a way to concatenate a lot of meshbuffers with only fe...

After executing code which is listed below i got following output in console: "24 0". mesh_buffers is std::vector<CDynamicMeshBuffer*> and buffer_side is CDynamicMeshBuffer*. Am I doing something wrong or this append method does not work? Of course this is not the only reason that i though...

Basically, what i want to do is render one texture with alpha channel over another in the same Material something like on the snippet below. But in that case i have my overlay texture displayed with black color in places where there should be transparent. So i added buffer_side->Material.MaterialTyp...

Thanks for an answer. Is creating a new SMesh object and appending it with meshbuffers a way to go?

Hi. I would like to create Minecraft alike game in Irrlich. Im not good in 3D graphics yet so i would like your advice. How should i efficiently draw a lot of cubes to get a high performance? At now I'm doing something like on the code below. This code renders 8000 cubes and gives me 24 FPS so this ...
