Topic: Getting the source mesh vertices from a triangle selector

I may add that capability to the engine in the near future. I wanted to add functionality where clicking on a mesh could give you back the texture coordinates of the part you clicked on, presumably by interpolating between the three vertices that make up the triangle that was clicked on. These coord...

Getting the source mesh vertices from a triangle selector

Basically, my goal is to get the three vertex indices within a mesh buffer for a triangle involved in a collision. This would allow me to directly access the mesh properties at the collision area, and do things like dynamically alter the material texture based on where the collision occurs. I'm pret...

If it were my version of DirectX, then why would this still show up with DirectX 8.1 being used?

Anyway, I have no idea what the problem is, since I've only been using the Dev-C++ branch and I'm not using the directx source.

DirectX z-fighting in SpecialFX demo

http://www.psychodogstudios.net/tom/img/bug.jpg This wasn't happening in version 1.0, so I'm assuming this isn't a known bug. This problem seems to occur on my computer whenever I move some distance away from the water surface. It happens with DirectX 9.0 and 8.1, but not OpenGL. I'm not getting an...

!. No. IrrLua is a binding to the Irrlicht engine (and is not complete according to the author). You can call functions however directly from Lua... 2. No. You need to understand better how bones animation works. 3. Use the lowest polycount possible. 4. Try it and find out. Then tell the rest of us...

IrrLua, IrrWizard, Bones animation, and polycount

Just making sure, with IrrLua, you can code your own classes in C++ and then call them from IrrLua without much trouble, right? We want to use IrrLua as a general scripting language for all our non-programmers, since our group is mostly artists, and I would like to make sure this is a good idea firs...

I've worked for two different government contractors, and I can see why you'd quit. At first it was kind of cool writing diagnostic software for military vehicles and inspecting the triggers in missile nose cones. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this is not something I'd wa...
