[solved]Camera Clipping

[hioctane]

Hi,

i made a scene with 100x100 models. The Polygon count is about 500k. I i change the view of my camera that i only see 9 of them i get a Polygon count of 150k. I thought that irrlicht clips all models away that aren't in my View. My Camerasettings are: fov = PI/2.5f, aspect = 4.0f/3.0f, farPlane = 1000.f und nearplane = 1.f.

Is there a flag to set that irrlicht clips all models that are not in the view of my camera ?

maybe use setAutomaticCulling(...) on the nodes !?!?!

thx Acki, works great

Acki how do I call setAutomaticCulling() on a node?

in the API it said

Code: Select all

scene::ISceneNode::setAutomaticCulling( EAC_FRUSTUM_SPHERE );

but adding it to my project produces an error.

You aren't actually using that code, are you? You should have something like

Code: Select all

scene::ISceneNode * node ;

...

node->setAutomaticCulling( scene::EAC_FRUSTUM_SPHERE ) ;

If that doesn't solve your problem, we'll need to have the code that is causing your error as well as what the error was.

It isn't a good idea to add 10,000 models to the scene, that many models will eat up lots of time drawing each one and traversing the scene graph.

If they're blocks that make up your world then a better idea is to batch them all up into a single mesh containing as few buffers as possible, then create an OctTree node out of this mesh.
