Irrlicht Engine

When loading a scene with irr::scene::ISceneManager::loadScene , the type of scene nodes built (ESCENE_NODE_TYPE) returns always ESNT_UNKNOWN when calling ISceneNode::getType()

Which isn't cool because it would be handy for scene postprocessing...

I seen that when using software rendering EDT_SOFTWARE2 (often used as a backup renderer when createDevice fails with direct3D or OpenGL), the images created with add IGUIEnvironment::addImage were not displayed when a alpha layer doesn't exist. It prevents, for example to display a jpeg image, as i...

the irrlicht animation system can only replay, frame by frame, what you've done in your animation modeler. You've two solutions : -either you model two objects, load them in two scene node, and the upperbody will be parent of the lower part, with an offset. Then you can call independant animations f...

I've been trying to use ICameraSceneNode::setFOV; and I get weird results : setFOV(PI) -> Field of view = 0 degrees setFOV(PI/2) -> Field of view = 45 degrees setFOV(PI/4) -> Field of view = 135 degrees setFOV(0) -> Field of view = 180 degrees the parameter of setFOV should be an amount in radians. ...

bug in setPosition : use Z for Z, not X ?

looks promising, i've never been looking too much at shaders; would be a good start of you can post some code.

hi,
i've the same problem... but i've corrected and re-compiled and it changes nothing. I wonder if the render uses the face color info??? if yes, is there a render flag for face colors or another trick?

huh,
reduced the bug, but there is still visible artifacts... anyway, thank for the solution.

Hi, It seems that with antialias, the skybox box borders becomes visible : i understand that maybe the antialias wraps on the texture and get pixels from the other edge. So, okay, the solution could be to give mapping coordinates not in 0,0 / 1.0,1.0 for the top-left and bottom-right corners but hal...

It can be ill-placed vertices as well. I doubt some people can give precise advice with so little information.
If you use Java for doing 3D games, anyway, you must be a kind of masochist. I can whip you if you want?

hi, as far as i understood your problem, it seems you may need to class a static class containing pointers to the global datas you need in you project classes without having to pass many parameters to constructor. for example : -------------------------------------- myGlobalData.h ------------ class...

the "south pole" of your sphere shouldn't be visible at all, i guess that your normals are messed up. Do you need a sample code for calculating your normals?

try ISceneNode::setDebugDataVisible(true) when the Bounding box will be visible, i think you'll understand better why it doesn't work. Usually it's due to invalid BBox. Something happening sometimes is having such a problem with a "Custom" scene node, where you build you own object built o...

in case it can be helpful for others : I've recompiled the microsoft X exporter for 3DS Max (XSkinExp.dle), imported a sample animation of a quite heavy and complicated animation (bones, etc.) exported to text X file... loaded with irrlicht X loader... and it works perfectly... :P just the texture a...

you can either use - ISceneManager::getScreenCoordinatesFrom3DPosition(vector3df(x,y,z)); and then draw 2D image above the head - billboards the billboard will decrease in size when you go far from the character, and the GFX will be less readable because stretched. It's also not the best thing if yo...
