Irrlicht Engine

I think the point is "intermediate format" vs. "optimized format". Instead of supporting tons of intermediate formats, it will be nice for Irrlicht to develop its own optimized format and provide the conversion interfaces and (optionally)tools, rather than support other parties' intermediate/binary ...

Though the thread it's been a while, I would like to clarify does Irrlicht 1.7.1 now support skinned mesh and keyframe-based skeleton animation from Collada (1.4.1) now?

Can the engine correctly parse the collada format from Feeling Software's collada exporter, either in Max or Maya?

Thanks.

I believe this is a dumb question, but really can't find out the right place download these exporters.

I am looking for exporters doing the conversion from 3D Studio Max, or Maya to irrmesh formats. Where can I find them?

Are the plugins bound to specific 3d authoring tool versions, or just simply ...

wow, that's quick.
thanks for the hint

(1) Say after successfully importing an obj model can I access the vertices info? (positions, normals, uvs....) how?

(2) Can I "alter" the vertices info and get it updated in the render view? (ex: change vertices[39].x from 0.0f to 3.0f) If so, how?

TIA.

try

void main(void)
{
vec4 color = texture2D(RT, vTexCoord.xy );
gl_FragColor= vec4( 1.0 - color.r, 1.0 - color.g, 1.0 - color.b, color.a );
}

Urrrrrrrrrrrr.....

my bad

I found a converter directly converts from maya to b3d, in linux version.

Since the source is bundled, that would be great if someone can recompile it for Windows

Sweet! I will check it out.

Hi,

I would like to use IK (Inverse Kinematics) to control the joints skinned to the mesh.

The idea is controlling a chain connected to a dog where the end effector will be parented or constrained to it(the dog).

The chain is skinned.

So when the dog is moving, the chain will behave naturally ...

hmm... looks like what I need.
Thanks!

Is there a way I can create an irregular curve(say, a NURBS curve) in Irrlicht, define a camera and constrain to it for the motion?

That would be even great if I can import the curve directly from Blender or Maya, but I don't mind building them directly using code in Irrlicht.

Any classes or tuts ...

After some trial and errors, I finally got Bamboo works on my machine...

(1) check out the latest Irrlicht source and include from:
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/irrlicht/source
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/irrlicht/include

(2) check out Bamboo from:
http://code.google.com/p ...

Thanks hybrid! Seems that's the way I should go :D

By the way, I have some diffuculty to integrate the files checked out from SVN to the existing 1.3 build. I use Tortoise on Windows XP.

The files could be checked out correctly, but when I tried to use the patch file, some were patched but some ...

Yea.. adding support for the more recent Collada versions is what I am trying to do :D

Luke's new animation system makes perfect sense to me. I am checking out a copy from SVN, internet is slow so downloads take forever :shock:

Is the B3D Scene Node in Irrlicht's source, or it's on Luke's new ...
