Irrlicht Engine

I just picked up Irrlicht after many months away, and when I try to load a text .X file saved by DirectX Mesh Viewer (DX june 2005) the file loads and the model displays fine, but will not animate. Is this a known problem?

i would suggest looking at coding your own physics because ODE is a very limited physics engine

But from my own experience (I coded a physics engine for a car racer many moons ago) physics as a concept is exciting but a b*stard to code. e.g the stacking scenario is a fairly envolved process, what ...

Oh, man. Take it from me, as soon as you have a wife (and especially a baby kid) your coding time gets cut down to nothing. I have to sneak out when they are both sleeping to get any code done. :wink:

Same here on an nVidia 2 Ti: stretched textures and seams in the sky box.

What about bump-mapping?

Yeah, I was about to sugest that... I had posted that one on the old board. I believe that now that we have the water node that effectively uses multi-texturing, adding a new shading type for bump should be relatively simple - in Niko's terms, at least. Is this man a ...

Ah, interesting. But maybe in previous versions of the demo you would get a black screen or very low fps instead of no shadow. I added a check for this in 0.4, switching off shadows if they would cause problems.

Yes, I got atrociously slow framerates with shadows on in 0.3 (but still no visible ...
