Irrlicht Engine

Awesome, i've always liked the half-life / counter-strike chat

Please post some screenshots.
Maybe it's a problem with the normal direction

First note: I tried loading this model in other 3d modellers and they have the same problem the irrlicht engine has, so it is probably an error in the model itself and nothing to do with irrlicht.

Anyway I have 1 mesh.
The mesh is UWV mapped using 3D Studio Max. The TGA contains an alpha channel ...

The material file is not needed.
I apply all material settings in irrlicht.
Because my material has to be dynamic and it can be altered by the user.

Ok, OBJ loader has no support for alpha channel transparency which is the type of transparency I would have expected here. So first of all I'd need to know which type of transprency you chose for your mesh in the modeller.
There are several types available in Irrlicht, this has to be adapted to the ...

Does this effect change if you use more or less transparency? Maybe try 0.75, 0.25 and 0.0 opacity.

I tried setting SMaterial::MaterialTypeParam to 0, 0.5, 0.75, etc.
The effect is still the same. Once i go over 0.52 the transparent material is completely gone! And below that value it just looks ...

Hi all!

I'm having an issue with a transparent tga textures on a table:
Please look at the following. The table should be glass, but only half of the table legs are visible (see left image) , but if you go beneath it, all are visible. (see right image)

Hi all,
I think I discovered a bug in the 3DS loader in irrlicht 1.1.
Let me explain.

If you have your object nicely centered in 3DS max (0,0,0)
then there is no problem, but if you move it a bit along the Y axis
so your model is not centered but at (0,-20,0)
then instead of moving the model the ...

Thanks man!

You need to keep track of the current Xml Node you are processing.

case io::EXN_ELEMENT you will check which kind of your text's it is

if (!strcmp("nodename1", xml->getNodeName()))
{
trackingNode = 1;
}
else
{
trackingNode = 2;
}


and in case EXN_TEXT you check which node you are processing ...

Yes That could very well be, I'll try that.

In the mean time, nobody knows how to move the orthogonal camera?

Hi all,

I really need to know how to zoom and pan an orthogonal camera.

One of the things i thought of to zoom the camera, is rebuild the projection matrix each time with a smaller width and height to make it look like it zooms.
MyMatrix.buildProjectionMatrixOrthoLH(width,height,500.0f,-10000.0f ...

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with viewing my scene from the top, it's a floorplan in which
some boxes are dropped.

Example:

As you can see in the screenshot, the boxes in the corner have perspective but the one in the middle does not. Obviously because it is ...
