NaturlMotion Endorphin & Irrlicht

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if it was possible to use NaturalMotion's Endorphin with the Irrlicht?

I don't see why not.

Do you know how much Endorphin costs? I should think it's quite expensive so if you're spending that much you might want to shell out on something extra for the graphics engine maybe?

Actually I don't think Endorphin is even licensable these days? According to their site, they send off employees to work in-house with the development team. So I highly doubt they will work with a small indie development team.

No, they have released a free version. I forgot to mention that.

Ok, so your answer is yes it will work with irrlicht, it's completely seperate to irrlicht, irrlicht just renders, naturalmotion does other stuff (physics and/or animation right?) which can compliment it.

So it's just a case of figuring out how to integrate the two, feel free to take the first steps and share your findings with the community

Ah, yes, then it is completely different. I second what JP said above me.

Well what I was saying if anyone has done it, used the animations and physics of Endorphin in their Irrlicht projects

No, no one has done it. But someone has done it as a Google Summer of Code project. I don't know if they ever completed it though.
