DirectX and Irrlicht problem

cyberion · Post by **cyberion** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 6:33 pm

Hello !

I'm writting a game (Visualisation of College) in DirectX. My question is: if I do all movement and camera's using in Irrlicht it's all about this ok. How can I create an alias for Direct3D's device from Irrlicht ? Exacly create alias from IrrlichtDevice to LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 ? I am asking of this, because I want to create some special effects like blowing up objects, use fade in/out using DIRECTx ! In Irrlicht code I can easily create DirectMusic device. But what abot Direct3D ?

Can somebody help me ?

Sorry for my english !

Hmm i believe there is a way you can just use straight directx in irrlicht but i do believe it is going to be very difficult.
If it is written in direct x id suggest just using straight directx code.
Make useful functions to make your project go by faster.

You can use IVideoDriver->getExposedVideoData() to get a pointer to the IDirect3D9 device.

Could you give me some examples ? In Irrlicht documentation I haven't found something like this and of course on the Internet

Search for getExposedVideoData() on these forums returns...

The same search on google returns many more hits, all of which are good examples... Did you even search?

And the documentation has this.
