Irrlicht Engine

Using a straightline or spline approximation?

I think STL is great. Once implemented, you don't need to provide much support for it.
The engine need changes. Thread safe and Multi threading is really needed.

-----
Don't talk about boost, it is too big and not needed in any 3D rendering or game engine.

I think the guys need to search a little. They have a team. It should take them 1 day or two. http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=50533 If you carefully go through the post that they referenced as above. They need to do below. "There is one bug, if you use the default ...

For windows in panel or surface, you have to recompute the mouse position. Recommend searching both of the help forums. I don't get a problem with selection when I work in QT and .Net forms with Irrlicht previously. Also there is one example related to mouse hitting triangle on a animated mesh. That...

I don't use Irrlicht lately, but from my experience this function should be very efficient.
There should also be unit selection code, select by window, floating somewhere here in the forum.

Make sure you disable your camera from being select.

Why don't you show your hardware skinning and radiosity lightmap code and sample.

I think the guys will adopt it if they fine them easy to port over.

Hi Nice stuff,
This at the moment seems to work only on OpenGL NVidia graphic card. DirectX doesn't work, it said could not load D3DXAssemleShader from dll.

Intell card doesn't work in openGL nor DirectX. My graphic card is GTX 860M 4Gb.

Regards

Alternative is using

createDeviceEx();

and tell it to render to your DrawingSurfaceID (Win handle ID etc)

Regards

This is great work.
Well done.

Back to the camera problem.
If you add simple linear acceleration for your camera at the begining (e.g. increase delta distance at some rate over time), then follow by matrix or quaternion calculation for update, it will be smooth.

Regards,

I think Quaternion was derived from complex number.

It is competing with matrix. But in the end matrix win it's popularity.

There is a new form of Mathematic called rational trigonometry it might be useful at some point in time.

uh, looks cute.
How does it taste like?
hehe.

Nice soft shadow.
Great stuff, congratulation mate.

Cheers

Hi Vectrotek,
The forum limited the text length for code snippet for a single code tag.
What we can do is create another or multiple code tags and put the remaining codes there.

Regards

The vector text looks cool.

It would be great to create a snippet for this for Irrlicht.

Cheers
