Irrlicht Engine

Hi, the scenecollisionmanager can already do that for you :

getScreenCoordinatesFrom3DPosition

Hi, yes you'll have to alter the engine. Because it looks at the vertex type and decides how to feed it into dx. Ofcourse you must not forget that youll have to create a class that convert the regular types to the type you want.

But perhaps all of this is not necessary ? please explain why you want ...

I work as a Flash programmer, flash components are nothing but precompiled swfs and some small overhead. Would be kind of a dream for malware builders if components could execute arbitrary code ;)


A way i can think of a solution. Is implementing a flash applet in a page and the irrlicht plugin ...

I achieved the other way around ( Flash in Irr) but heh what you want, dream on

With some major hackery it SHOULD indeed be possible but I guess you better just forget it

There is no way to add custom scenenodes or custom properties. Afaik you can only create irr's default node type and belonging properties. If you can please share!

It's not yet there and I am too eagerly awaiting Niko's next version while crossing my fingers he will add the extention system.

hi,

It creates a triangleselector from the boundingbox which is spanned around your entire animated mesh. So its not much use for you i guess

try to play around with materials in Irredit.

- export your model from max
- import in irredit
- have fun

for realistic stuff youll want shaders, but i'm not sure you're ready for that just yet.

it is because a triangleselector uses a mesh to do its work. An animated mesh consists of multiple meshes (not entirely true but to keep things simple) thats why an animatedmesh has a getmesh(n) function.

Constantly updating triangleselectors is not a good idea. A solution could be to create 2 ...

afaik none of the importers currently support them. Not in the least prolly cus there are only few EXporters who can actually export bumpmap info (Ogre). An option could be assigning materials in irredit and then use the updated collada loader to load the files created by Irredit

I'm both a good coder and modeller (even if i say so myself) but as with many people.. I lack the man hours , i often wish i could clone myself like 5 times.

Perhaps its an idea to start a recruitment forum ? or even better a projects page on irr main where one can view screens,progress and apply ...

Hihi,

This piece is driving me nuts! it's simple and im prolly overlooking something utterly trivial but after hours of staring i cant seem to find it.

The deal, simple lighting using HLSL lit function.

The problem, when I transform the object the lighting isnt right(as though the object still ...

just cast it to a IAnimatedMeshSceneNode

Got the math working to get the UV, but now i need to get that translated to the texture coordinate. Found some article about it but it doesnt seem to work. This stuff is way above me , but I really want it to work as it is the last step to reaching my goal.

It's usually below me to ask someone ...

Ok I'll try! hope it's not too much out of my league
