Irrlicht Engine

Nice find. Thank you so much

And having a single bigger meshbuffer is again faster than many meshbuffers. At least up to a certain amount. You have to weigh drawcalls vs. vertex count and so on. But since irrlicht only supports 16bit meshbuffers i think having a view big buffers is just fine. Then again if you do clever occlusi...

I think the reason there are no video tutorials is that irrlicht is simply a graphics api. There is no special IDE or Editor that the user has to learn. Actually irrlicht users dont have to learn anything about irrlicht but about using an api and of course learning basics about 3D/2D and how it work...

The particle engine i posted is a little bit inspired by spark and employs some of the concepts. And the best part it performs better than irrlichst native particle engine. Asimov: no matter if you need explosions or not, but its probably still a better fit than the irrlicht standard particles. Btw ...

Hey checkout his particle engine. http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/v ... =6&t=43145

I would be interested to know why you opted for a struct rather than a class?

Probably because they work the same and he wanted all functions and variables to be public.

Hi scorpeti,
I lost my source and shaders as well. But i have a collection of releases someone else collected. I updated the first post.

Kindly packaged by someone else (collection of releases, no idea whats in there actually)

I made a simple setup for irrlicht projects with cmake for linux: https://bitbucket.org/suddani/irrlicht-base

what i do is checkout the libs i want to change in a subfolder of my project. fortunatly most of them use git these days so i can easily use my own branch locally. This allows me to patch stuff and do proper versioning a different repo than the main project and still keep everything neatly together.

Well you should take a look at my particle system. It was implemented in irrlicht and answers all your questions.

IrrScene does not support stuff like "entites" only scenenodes. You though create your own scenenode type which is basicly just an entity placeholder that you could place in the scene.

  scene::IQ3LevelMesh* mesh = (scene::IQ3LevelMesh*) smgr->getMesh(mapname);   //the you can access the entities by scene::quake3::tQ3EntityList& entities = mesh->getEntityList();//that list is actually a core::array< scene::quake3::IEntity >   //now you can also in case those entities are brus...

You are forgetting that irrlicht is only a rendering engine. If you want trigger areas you first have to programm them before you can load them from a file. Irrlicht BSP loader is fully featured it supports loading entities from bsp files but of course you have to programm those entities first.

no. you will have to use shadowmapping
