Bounding box in animated scene nodes

[darkmaster83]

Code: Select all

IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* RepairBoundingBox(IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node)
{
	IAnimatedMesh * mesh = node->getMesh();
		
	aabbox3df box;
	for (u32 i = 0; i < mesh->getMeshBufferCount(); i++)
	{
		mesh->getMesh(1)->getMeshBuffer(i)->recalculateBoundingBox();
		box.addInternalBox(mesh->getMesh(1)->getMeshBuffer(i)->getBoundingBox());
	}
	mesh->setBoundingBox(box);
	node->setMesh(mesh);
	return node;
}

dont know it helps, i used it for make the bounding box equal to the first frame's bounding box.
try it maybe it'll solve your problem

Thank you anyway.
I'm sorry, I try to use this function in the game loop, after movement by skeletal animation, but the rendering is too slow (only 2-3 FPS) and using:

Code: Select all

ode->setDebugDataVisible(EDS_BBOX);

I don't see the updating of bounding boxes after the movement...maybe it's a limit of the Irrlicht's actual version...but I don't want to think it, because an animation system that doesn't update bounding boxes is totally useless for almost all applications...

It's a known problem, and is on the list for fixing before 1.5 is cut. I think Luke has been hijacked into meatspace though, so anyone else who wants to investigate it and suggest solutions would be very welcome.

darkmaster83: nono, dont call it in loop.
just when you create your node.

Code: Select all

mynode = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(....);
..
mynode = RepairBoundingBox(IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node);
...
//and use it

it only changes the bbox to the same as the first frames bbox. thats all

SVN 1805 attempts to fix this. Feel free to let me know that it breaks all your apps.
