Imo it's not as special as it might look. If you think about it, it's very similar to standard LOD behaviour on terrain scene nodes (to name an example). The only real difference is the basic shape: A sphere instead of a plane. It might need some more optimizations etc. but the basics should work th...

I THIS understand NOT somehow ARGH.

If you're not that great at English, try to post in your mother tongue (or any another language you're more familiar with) - just write it below your English lines separating it with something like "-----".

Just use the more simple precision (should be those without any special naming). It's faster that way and imo you don't need that accurate physics. It's more interesting for people trying to get very accurate simulations (outside of games).

Try arras' idea - it's not that hard to do at all.

There is already a sprite billboard scene node somewhere that allows such animations. Alternative: Name your textures something like "tex0.jpg" through "tex9.jpg" and load all using GetTexture() within a short loop. To access those textures later on, just use GetTexture() again (...

Think it's about adding 2 or more animators to one node.

Might sound a little bit weird but Google Earth offers it more or less too.

How about creating a ring buffer holding a specific number of (rt)textures? You could then pass them starting at the offset of the last set frame to your pixel shader(s) or wherever.

This way you'll only have one scene.DrawAll() per main loop depending on what you're going to do.

Because I'm trying to compare the distance shifted of the scene for my velocity based motion blur shader, and pretty confused by everything. I'd try to get that data from your camera's position, rotation, etc. It should be faster than trying to get any velocity vectors out of the viewports rendered...

I'd try to somehow invert A* (or whatever is used). So instead of walking the path with the highest score I'd pick the one with the lowest score (blocked LOS to the player lowers score in addition).

Volumes would be ok for me.

But replace the bIsReadOnly flag on directories and use some kind of bitmask instead (readonly, writeonly, mixed) as there could be paths that are write only. Imageine some kind of smtp handler allowing you to submit bug reports. (path similar to mailto:)

It's a little bit off topic but I'd use two threads for the server so one thread handles network traffic, the other one world updates. With your current design a flood of network packets would block your whole game world from updating. ----- If you don't know on how/where to start or are unsure, try...

Project settings (of release configuration)? There should be an entry for preprocessor settings under "configuration properties" -> "C/C++".

You could also add invisible (or later ignored) meshes to block the chasm.
