Irrlicht Engine

seems to be with how you are updating the absolute positions of the bones, seems like you are updating them after drawing each frame, not before.

you talking about how a vertex can be affected by more then one weight? yes this is true. and is used at least by the b3d loader, possibly ms3d and x too, if I remember right. converting between weights to vertices, and vertices to weights data layout should be pretty straight forward, think this is...

have a look at ISkinnedMesh

@Luke: This is almost a candidate for the screenshot of the month competition. Absolutely awesome Cool. But is it real 3D? Normally the red and green bars around the objects should change their size with distance, shouldn't they? Question yeah it is real 3d, and they do change. The red and green ba...

We should probably set up a tutorial with this code.

yeah sounds good.

Its for 1.5? I got a bunch off errors...

hmm, you may have to use the svn or wait for 1.6. sorry I always work off the svn, I forget what is in each version.

hey, though I should post a bit of code I did lately for anaglyph rendering. void CGameEngine::drawAnaglyph() { vector3df oldPosition=camera->getPosition(); vector3df oldTarget=camera->getTarget(); matrix4 startMatrix=camera->getAbsoluteTransformation(); vector3df focusPoint= (camera->getTarget()-ca...

well separating them gives you more functionality, eg rotation and position frames can be at different rates, you can save space as most meshes only use rotation keyframes. optimize meshes that don't use scale, etc. yes there might be rounding errors when loading an x mesh that uses matrices, but x ...

vertex_id=verticesbefore+i; seems odd, are the weights really in order? more then one weight could be on a vertex you know, this wouldn't let that happen.

could you show some more code, like where is verticesbefore, parentjoint, and joint from, etc.

btw what is this for?

Seems Irrlicht has been marked as not notable on wikipedia, anyone have references, etc. to "establish its notability"

your right, must have skipped up. thanks for finding it.

in the svn.

thanks,

was missing a call to load the joints in the mesh with the getJointNode(u32) function

if you were to call getJointNode(string) before any getJointNode(u32) call it would have worked.

fixed in the SVN.

should be fixed now in the SVN.

sorry it took so long, been busy.

very nice amazing work

not sure what's special about the last screenie though

I think it's showing the point lighting?

yeah was going to use them ants before, but they are very low ploy for giant ants, good for small ones. was trying to make them higher ploy, but didn't work that well.

BlindSide,

lol, was going to have giant ants attack you. throw and drag ragdolls around, etc. it's silly, but could be fun. not sure if I'll still do it or not now.
