Irrlicht Engine

Wow! Thanks Vectrotek! Just seen your example and you documented the shader! That's really great! I searched for something like this for a long time! Once they fully switch to shaders, I hope this (or and optimized version) or this will get in Irrlicht.

Hi. I added the new command to the IrrCompileConfig.h: "define #UNICODE" and the lib compiled. For the VS2015 linking errors, I was compiling as a static LIB, and decided to change it to a DLL and see. It compiled most of the examples, except this one: Quake3 Explorer. Looking at the code ...

Wow! Is this rendered with vanilla Irrlicht and shaders?! I really like the specular highlights in the scene.

Rules
- Only irrlicht renders allowed,

Since BAW based on Irrlicht (But extensively modified in the rendering parts). Is it still considered fully Irrlicht renders? Current Irrlicht don't have theses abilities...

Hi, Tried to compile SVN Irrlicht with #define _IRR_WCHAR_FILESYSTEM and there are compilation errors: Gravité Code Description Projet Fichier Ligne Erreur C2440 'initialisation' : impossible de convertir de 'const char [12]' en 'const irr::fschar_t *' Irrlicht C:\Users\Public\Projets\Irrlicht\sourc...

It's not because it's easy to use that it have to be slow! It's just because the code base of Irrlicht is quite old. The recent decision to drop the old tech (DX8) and implementing the FVF system was a good one . Surely, going low level with the API will make it faster, but if the API get too low le...

Hi, Thanhle. Why should the instancing be done automatically? Hendu have a point there. If at least you can do it (BTW congrat for implementing this on BAW), I don't see a issue. Can an mesh can still be instanced, if it's deformed by the skinning/bones/animations? Would you surely need to have hard...

Hi. I really like the images, but the text annoy me a little. Speed is not the real strength of Irrlicht. I know this has been used by years now "lightning fast 3D engine". But if this was to be true, it would have been in the "duke nukem" days... For me the real strength of Irrl...

Cool work Mel!

Ha! Really Devsh style of answer! :) lol It would be educative for all of us to explain why you are against the idea detecting the graphics card capabilities and enabling hardware instancing? Maybe you have another way to do it, or you can't think about it now because you are really busy on other pa...

Hardware skinning can only work on modern engines. There still a lot of work to be done before Irrlicht can do more than basic fixed pipeline as it was designed at that time.

Hi, AReichl! I have about the same experience as you, I build it, and applied some feature patches to it (GUI system). Urho 3D is much more powerful than Irrlicht, a strenght that might also be a weakness in certain cases. This lib is a complete game engine, sound, rendering, physic, gui, etc. That ...

Hi, I've been using Irrlicht for a long time, and it's been the best engine to learn from. I'm trying to learn other engine now and they are quite difficult compared to Irrlicht. The only thing that incite me to look for something else is the rendering features (still no instancing, no working defer...

Hi, That will affect people that are using the file open dialog but also people that create similar stuff using Irrlicht to create a filelist. This will simply put all in uppercase the filename (ONLY ON WINDOWS). But from what I know, Windows don't care if it's lowercase or uppercase so I consider t...

For me it look like some sort of clipping issue, seem caused by imprecision in the zbuffer because the geometry is overlapping. Do you use the alpha in the textures? Can you check the ZBuffer depth setting, perhaps forcing it to 32bit buffers?
