Would I randomly draw points all over the game world? I've heard of environment maps, but am not sure what those are - would that help?...

I'm trying to make a tech demo for a yet unannounced project I'm doing in Irrlicht. I'm having difficulties with using vector mathematics in Irrlicht. Specifically, I can't just ADD to the magnitude of a vector2d<T>. I mean, does that mean I have to copy the vector, normalize, then multiply by the a...

I've been looking at and learning Irrlicht for the past little while, and it seems to be honestly the easiest 3D Engine to use that I've seen so far. It's so easy, that I've decided to start my first real programming project using it. However, I'm going to need everyone's input on other modules to u...
