Irrlicht Engine

I'm guessing you're a gamer kid who wants the latest bells and whistles. Man! My last post was about gamer kids! They want only 128 bit textures, shader 9.0, etc... one-man-band Sorry, my friend, but I'm not one-man-band... you're entering the $5 game market Don't talk about money. I have it enough...

irrEdit sux, use my3D format...

camera->setFarValue()?

Fog? Yeah, irrlicht supports fog. http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/tut011.html

Whoa! That's awesome! Niko should add this to irrlicht.

Why should we wait for DX10 and Vista? Incompability. Don't cheat yourself... most of game developers are making games for a potential player... a player always install the newest windows, the newest drivers, and he want to have everything the best and he just want to have fun! well... most of game...

OpenGL is a lot easier to use

It's truth...

Well, but why OpenGL driver in Irrlicht has more bugs than d3d?
Personally I prefer OpenGL ( there is no use in creating Dx9 engine before Dx10 and vista's era... )

smgr2->drawAll(); ?

It is because Irrlicht is a lot easier to use

Not exactly. The reason is the same as reason of learning OpenGL and Direct3D, viz comparison and choice. I have learnt Ogre and Irrlicht because these engines looks good IMO and are very easy.

Use blender for modelling! To code use CodeBlocs with mingw or vc++ or other that kind of poop called compiler + IDE

Yeah, but they need to be well organised. One person write opengl driver patch, other is writing model loader fix, etc... if everyone will do what he would want, chaos will arise...

Max format is much more advanced than 3ds and it stores lot of unnecessary information for game.

s32 is equivalent to int type.

I think your idea is good, but unreal. If engine will became community engine, all patches would be incompatible with others ( thousands of particles patches, driver patches... noone will know which patch works truely correctly ). Any project need a team that will have to look into pathes and choose...

100% constantly when I'm running my application.

It's normal... any game use a while loop as main loop and it is executing constantly...

Any suggestion of what may be happening?

VSync turned on?

See www.blender3d.org

For codeblocks see www.codeblocks.org (I recommend to use night build)

For mingwc++ toolkit see http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ogre ... e?download

Whoa! Use irrEdit... xD xD xD Serio, Irrlicht doesn't support md5 - Niko and team haven't time for improving irrlicht, they wanna do irredits... You really need animation and blender? Use .x exporter from mind floaters ( in irr's sdk ), download older version of blender ( e.g. 2.34 ) install exporte...
