Re: Issue Loading DirectX (.x) File

Interesting. I'll triple check all of my settings and have another go at it this evening. If it's working for you, I've gotta be missing something somewhere.

Bullet physics debugdraw is scene node required?

I am working on adding functionality to display bullet debug lines and so far everything makes since from what I have read. However when it comes to actually drawing the lines I am a little confused as to whether or not a custom scene node will be required. I have been looking at this previous threa...

What determines number of mesh buffers?

What determines the number of mesh buffers a mesh contains? For example the following code obtains a count of meshBuffers from an instance of an IMesh:   IMesh * mesh = meshnode->getMesh(); const size_t buffercount = mesh->getMeshBufferCount();   Are mesh buffers related to the objects a mesh contai...

Re: Issue Loading DirectX (.x) File

Use B3D instead. Both static and animated mesh work. http://www.rtsoft.com/forums/showthread.php?7509-Blender-B3D-2-6x-Export-script Agreed. I'm currently using .obj for static and .b3d for animated, but will probably switch to all .b3d for consistency since I'm not having issues with that format. ...

Re: Bullet Physics Integration

Just my two cents, but here's what I learned from experience. A debugged library is much better than coding it from scratch. You'll run in all sort of problems that another programmer has already figure out. So even if you use code a bit outdated, you still bring in the experience of the other deve...

Re: Bullet Physics Integration

There is a forked version that is supposed to work with Irrlicht 1.8.1 : https://github.com/danyalzia/irrBullet There's also one here : https://github.com/irrmich/irrBullet Disclaimer : I didn't any of them, though. Appreciate the links. I'm currently using irrlicht 1.8.4, which that version would ...

Bullet Physics Integration

Up until today I was planning on integrating bullet physics into my project from scratch, but after some searching I discovered there used to be a wrapper called irrBullet ? From what I can tell the repo hasn't been updated since 2012. Does anyone know what happened to this project and if there is a...

Re: Issue Loading DirectX (.x) File

The reason I couldn't see any textures applied to models was because I did not turn off lighting via: node->setMaterialFlag(irr::video::EMF_LIGHTING, false); After doing so I see the following: https://stashcube.com/irrlicht/directx-issue/left_handed_export.jpg Something is still up with normals/tex...

Re: Issue Loading DirectX (.x) File

What does it look like when setting the material to wireframe in Irrlicht? If its all there then it maybe your normals... In Blender, sometimes just resetting all normals (Ctrl-N) isn't enough, because of bizarre geometry (maybe non-manifold???), so you need to turn normals on in a viewport from th...

Re: Issue Loading DirectX (.x) File

It's most probably the option "Export Selected Only" since you have multiple textures I guess you have multiple separate objects in the blend. That is correct. I have multiple objects with multiple textures. However, when I export I have all objects selected that I want to export. Also, i...

I'm having an issue exporting my scene from blender as .x file and loading it into irrlicht. Everything loads correctly from what I can tell, however the results are...umm..botched (for lack of a better term). Totally possible I have missed a step somewhere along the lines or have something setup in...

Re: Thinking about using irrlicht...want to confirm a few th

Having no issues with OpenGL so far, I only use OpenGL. That's good to know! Since blender supports .x I'll probably use it instead of .b3d. We write a script to call MeshConvert.exe from DXSDK June 2010 to convert exported meshes to binary format. Is there a reason you're using the sdk from 2010 a...
