Wow, 0.8 looks amazing.
So how long should we expect to wait before we get shader support under linux?

the problem is that deep down, most operating systems are written in C/C++. Therefore, any program you're going to write can make the fullest use of what the OS has to offer if it's written in C/C++. Until someone writes an OS in Java or .NET(Longhorn, maybe), C/C++ will still stay at the top ...

Wow. There seems to be a large amount of forum spam going around. Blenderwars has been deluged to the point that the admins have been forced to close posting to non-registered users. From the same moron, too, with the same subject. sad, isn't it? :(

Holy crap...

L. O. L.

This cracks me up. I seriously hope this was a joke.

Anybody know of a good free Lego man model out there? All the ones i've seen either don't look like a real Lego man or aren't free.

hey powerpop, when you finish that could you email it to me? (the flocking algorithm, not the model) I'm doing something similar and am interested in how other people do it.

If you're using visual c++ it's in the Debug directory with the DLL.

you may want to enclose your code in [ code ] tags to make it more readable

just use setScale. e.g. ball->setScale(core::vector3df(1.0f,1.0f,0.5f)) will make the ball half as thick on the z axis. It should be pretty easy to implement this (as an animator, maybe) so it looks smooth.

I think I get it... you want the laser to look like a beam from two axes, but not when viewing it "straight-on," so to speak... you may have to edit the CBillboardSceneNode class or derive your own class (like CAxialBillboardSceneNode) to do that.

I guess the most important question is, if you want to sell the game. I mean propably one one will make trouble if its not commercial.

Actually, I believe that you can still get in trouble for doing this. What you ought to do (if the game is non-commercial) is go down to the places that you want ...

So you're going to have it spinning rapidly in order to look like a laser? sorry, I don't quite get what you're trying to accomplish...

they're not just meant to be billboards, but they are and are implemented as such. The problem is that they are in no way individually accessible, as they are handled internally by the particle system node.

If you need the directx sdk, I can put it on a cd and send it to you for the cost of media+shipping

This fixes the moving particles problem. Works with point emitters, haven't tried it with box emitters. YMMV

First, in SParticle.h, add a core::vector3df called startPos.

After line 270 of CParticleSystemSceneNode.cpp add:

array[i].startPos = getAbsolutePosition();



Replace line 296 with ...
