Irrlicht Engine

Yep if you're willing to be a *little* risky you can usually just google around and download d3dx9_43.dll separately, place it in your application root (Disclaimer: I hold no responsibility for any backdoor/trojans caused by DLLs obtained from third party sources).

Fixed download link. Thanks Nadro :D The reason it takes XEffects a while to get integrated is because the hard part is not in the shader code or the graphics, it's in the design of a system that will support all the platforms Irrlicht aims at, and is both easy to use and high quality. XEffects as a...

Hey cool! Nice to see people still improving XEffects

Do you have a link to a demo/source or something?

Cheers,

Hey man there are some rules outlined in the FAQ:

Wow it's looking pretty sweet

You're crazy! .. jk carry on, carry on

Hi DarkMark, you have to use TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL_REF, transparency is not supported with TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL.

Cheers

Could be a firewall or your port is already taken?

Cheers

But DarkMarkZX, that won't support on/off transparency, it will just draw the whole scene node regardless of the alpha on the texture. I think you need to check your materialTypeParam (In the SMaterial struct) as it controls the threshold with which an object is drawn or not based on the alpha value...

Current shadow implementation uses stencil shadows. *Hoping* to integrate depth map shadows in a coming release (If someone is itching to do it themselves feel free to contact me and I'll share what I have so far + interface/API change considerations, then you can submit a patch!).

Hi, I don't understand why you draw caster nodes into the shadowmap, and the receiver when comparing depth to produce shadows. For me, occluders (casters) are seen from the light view (shadowmap render) and shadowed areas (receivers) are seen by the user camera view (comparing shader) so I would do...

Thanks Nova, I'll take a look at it!

You're gonna need to use SOA form if you want a decent speed boost, that would require re-writing a lot of the algorithms in Irrlicht. One trick I found useful is to use a SOA3Vector class which holds 4 3-dimensional vector and performs all the ordinary operations on 4 vectors at once, so as long as...

It's just bumpmapped specular lighting, you can google for the shader code.

Hey this looks nice. Can we get some technical details on the batching you are using for the blocks? Is it all stored in a single static vbo?
