I've been thinking along these lines as well, and my main issue was, the base default [nude] mesh is still going to be processed, which is really unnecessary since parts like his abs are going to be obscured, but yet there isn't a nice way to perform manual culling on the programmer's part either.. ...

As an export from Blender, I use .b3d instead of .x, 'cause the export filesize is smaller. .obj can't animate, so i don't use that at all.

You could either UV map your own cube in a modeling program, or make a custom scene node with mesh buffers for each side of a face. Here's two links where it's explained it better [in C++ though]: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=24533 http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/vie...

Select your mesh in edit mode, and press Ctrl + N to recalculate normals outside, or Shift + Ctrl + N to recalculate inside.

If that doesn't work, select the individual face and press W > Flip Normals.

Wow, the mechs are awesome, so are their animations.... but isn't 6K poly a tad too much detail..??

It looks kinda better now I think, done up a bit on the formatting of Chapter 1.

You could try using IrrEdit too if you're on Windows to see if your mesh loads properly inside of Irrlicht. That way you would have no doubts about whether it's your code or your mesh that is incorrect. Is your texture's dimensions to the power of two? (512, 256, 128) btw, map to sphere or map to fl...

The ice scene needs more white snow on the ground.

I like how your scenes often have this atmospheric hue, gives off a nice saturated feel.

A model of Link should be easy enough to find, i think, based on this article here: http://thelastboss.com/post.phtml?pk=2613. Ripped models from games, hmmm.

@switchcase perhaps it might have been a better phrased question if I'd used the term "intersecting" instead of "overlapping". :oops: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e93/ranchu89/Irrlicht/Untitled.png The closer the meshes are to each other, the worse the problem will be. The c...

I just read over at Blender forums, where someone mentioned that the limitations of Z-Buffer accuracy. If you make models from parts that overlap you'll end up having nasty flickering at certain distances. And then there's the thing that some modern engines no longer think of things as triangles, bu...

That looks like it can be easily replicated using a radial gradient with a custom colourband. I'm not sure whether GIMP has that tool though.
