Glass Pane and Rain Drop refraction demo - Source Included

[wITTus]

@Cr33: I know exactly how you feel. I once had a Radeon 9600XT and watched too much demos - guess what happened. But, you should use your card. The more, the better. Because that's power testing for your new hardware. If it fails, bring it back and use your warranty.

phew.... i've tried compile-running it, and nothing exploded!

@BlindSide: it's weird to reply to year old post, but anyway- i'd like to point out that you forgot to include the dwarf in source code

[Siebenschläfer]

the glass is wonderful!

how did you give your own mesh the texture? If I include the dwarf and do

Code: Select all

node->setMaterialType(E_MATERIAL_TYPE(GlassMat));

my result looks pretty like this:

[devsh]

the result is correct because the shader is made for a plane not a whole 3d mesh

[FuzzYspo0N]

The demo included applies it to a mesh , a plane, and a set of water drops. Its something else

[Siebenschläfer]

exactly, I wanted to have such a shiny dwarf like in the demo but unfortunately the dwarf was not included in the source code so I don't know what's wrong here

[BlindSide]

* Digs up very old demo code *

Code: Select all

ISceneNode* GlassMesh = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(smgr->getMesh("media/dwarf.x"));

GlassMesh->setPosition(core::vector3df(2400*2,1200,2000*2));

GlassMesh->setScale(core::vector3df(10,10,10));

GlassMesh->setMaterialTexture(0, RTTTex);

GlassMesh->setMaterialTexture(1, NormMap);

and then

Code: Select all

GlassMesh->setMaterialType(E_MATERIAL_TYPE(GlassMat));

You probably forgot to set the normal map texture.

Cheers

oh, I see...


I tried to implement it into another project but got strange effects:

this room: I did the same I did in your project and got this:








so right now you can hardly see but the glass effect works but the texture is straight over the shape of the room ignoring its geometry. With other shaders that I use to give it a material this effect does not take place

[BlindSide]

Yes I recommend only using this with planes, the mesh thing is not physically correct and so in certain cases it can look strange.

[Siebenschläfer]

pity

in irrlicht 1.8 and 1.9 this demo is not working as expected the glass pane is divided into 4 and the drops are square. whats going on with my shaders everythings broken and im going crazy (linux 64 bit) it works great in irr 1.7
