Irrlicht Engine

Project canceled!

If this a usefully thing to code? [will you use this in your apps]

I begin working on a new type of ShaderCallback to resolve and add some futures to Irrlicht.

Futures:
- multipass
- easy seating for constants
- easy blend mode
- multitexture support
- shader know the nod that is shading
- examples

1. multipass

- Begin()
- BeginPass(pass)
- EndPass(pass)
- End ...

Nice! But tell as more! Why not confidence with your project?

OpenGL Shader Designer

A shader development IDE developed for writing vertex and fragment (pixel) shaders in glsl. Freeware editor release. [Win32/Linux]

(the links seems offline now)

A cool ThechDemo?

omaremad any word from you?

hi omaremad!

So when can we see some goodys from you? (do you have plans for submiting that to Irrlicht ?)

ok!

I will research TortoiseSVN diff

and make some plan/exemple for the new ShaderCallBack
and what nice things we can make with it!

maybe some DirectX men can help me to port it to DirectX

ok!

now just like to ask for some advice.

what is the correct way to submit something to irrlicht:
- i have the latest SVN
- i have add / modify some of the classes
- code only for opengl

idea 1:
- new shader callback ( multipass algorithms )
- new type of light (point / spot) implement with OGSL ...

you are right! but I think that this go to slow and I think Irrlich must go thirds distribute team and community must help
more in improving this engine.

3 developers (2 of them only make updates) are not a active developing team (community).

no plan for future developing (so can user begin talk ...

Yup!

But for now I don't see any plan/futures list/requests or teams!

So maybe this must be a bit reorganize a bit?

Where do you think that Irrlich will go in the future?

Most of the users play with the curent futures and theirs limitation. Most of the good/stable/useful futures are broth by niko. (like the irrEditor).

I think that this must change in the future. My idea for Irrlicht is that small groups ...

Yup! hope to make some nice stuff soon.

yes that's right!

count = Begin() return the number of passes on begin rendering af a node

for every pass I re-render the node with BeginPass(), EndPass()

End()

This method is dynamic and the loops are in the C++ code not in the Shader code. And every pass is blended with additive blending.
