Irrlicht Engine

I like it. thanks for the help!

this is the code I have been using

https://svn.code.sf.net/p/irrlicht/code/trunk

sounds like it is the latest so thanks!

on another note, is there a way to access the depth buffer in a shader?

I would like to use the development branch (latest and greatest 'in progress') build but it's difficult to know which is which on the downloads.

what is the branch furthest along in upgrades?

thanks,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vdolxgAyzw added a terrain splatter shader with 5 textures. base 0 - similar to normal terrain texture - tiled over entire terrain base 1 - similar to normal terrain detailmap - tiled over entire terrain texture 2, 3 and 4 are mixed according to texture 5 - currently...

example use....... // example for getIn() type functions, to get a point some number of units in front of the object // just multiply the IN times distance and add it to the position virtual vector3df getPointLeft(float distance) { vector3df p = getAbsolutePosition(); p += distance * getLeft(); retu...

in case it is useful, here are a few functions I use... // returns the direction that the node is 'looking' vector3df IGE_Object::getIn() { if (getPrimarySceneNode()) { matrix4 mat = getPrimarySceneNode()->getRelativeTransformation(); vector3df in(mat[8], mat[9], mat[10]); in.normalize(); return in;...

thanks. it has been a long journey

I get mode of my models at https://arteria3d.myshopify.com/ and use IrrAssimp for loading.

sigh....i should have thought of that. thanks for the assist! working on vegetation and want to use the slope of the terrain to either prevent placement or maybe angle the veggies.

What would be the best way to calculate the normal of the terrain triangle retrieved when using the x.z coordinates? for example, getHeight(x,z) returns the height of the triangle represented by the coordinates. I am wanting to grab the normal of that same triangle such as vector3df normal = terrain...

i was thinking, in blender delete everything except the model you want. then export to blend file and convert with assimp.

I use assimp regularly with no issues. are you selecting only the model to export?
