Irrlicht Engine

Sorry dude, my fault. Didn't mean to sound harsh if I did.

Why do you prefer DirectX? Isn't it all abstracted away by Irrlicht, so you couldn't possibly know which one you're using anyway? I prefer directx because of two things in Irrlicht. One the quality of rendering is better. If you don't believe me make a particle system and look at the difference fro...

Anybody know of a good one? Please don't suggest KDevelop because, even though it came with my distro, I've somehow developed a hatred for KDE :P . I've also tried anjuta but couldn't get it to work. Anything? Worst case scenario I guess I'll just write the whole program in Dev-Cpp on my winxp (int...

yeah. And it only took me a day and a half too. :P What a way to spend my vacations. When classes start again, my teacher will probably ask "what did you do with all the spare time?". Everyone will probably say something like going to the beach. "Umm... I messed with trig all day.&qu...

Hi John I've been playing around with Your CG stuff and made some changes. I made an interface ICGProgram which follows a bit more the irrlicht object creation style. The videodriver has now some methods for creating and destroying the CGPrograms. I believe that this way it'll be easier to implemen...

did anyone test this on linux? anything i compile linked to the modified version of irrlicht segfaults, except the modified hello world..... it seems to segfault just when it's supposed to rendera 3d object... I developed it in Linux, so it should work fine. But I think I know what's happening (did...

Linking with Cg and CgGL doesn't pose any license issues (which is awesome) -- NVidia wants you to use their language, and there's no other way to do so. On another note, I've been reading through the Cg for DirectX documentation and it looks like it's going to be more annoying than I thought. The O...

Howdy -- I just wrote some stuff to add Cg support to Irrlicht. At the moment, it only works with OpenGL; although someone familiar with DirectX should be able to fix that pretty easily. Below are the files I added/changed, along with a new main.cpp that goes with the "Hello World" example...

I hear Blender has a really nice Python interface for coding custom exporters. Maybe you should try that?

It does work, but it's not complete. There are a couple things that need to be added for it to be useful, like matrix tracking, but they're all a few lines of code. My main concern is that it fits into the infrastructure well. I think it does, but then again I've only looked at the few source files ...

They do -- it's actually kinda cool what NVidia did with Cg. You can compile Cg code to different GPU assembly types, including ARB types, which ATI supports.

Okay, this is what I've got so far. Some feedback would be nice, so I know if I'm following the general style/code structure rules for Irrlicht before I do too much more. Anyway, I added two source files: CCGProgram.cpp/h, and modified CVideoOpenGL, SMaterial.h, irrlicht.h and the Makefile. The only...
