irrDesertDemo

[Grz-]

Hello,

here is a little demo i did to show some of the cool stuff that irrlicht can do (with extensions) for a friend, i think some people might be interested, it is setup in a desert and you can move/fire/reload, the sun/clouds are animated but there is no day/night cycle.

Anyway here is a list of stuff that its featured in this demo:

- Clouds using CCloudSceneNode
- Grass using CGrassPatchSceneNode
- Shaders effects (bloom+aa) using CEffectPostProc
- Lens flare using CLensFlareSceneNode
- Irrlicht terrain with high quality texture/detailmap (not detailmap3.jpg!)
- Gun + fire etc from irrlicht examples
- Animated clouds/sun, the terrain "lightning" change in a nice way after some time.
- Walk SFX + 3D winds SFX + music using irrKlang

Controls: 'R' to reload

There is also another demo that was firtly made and which is using a different scene setup (with some objects like scorpion, knife with a reflection materials etc) also there is less thing in this one.

It run at 90fps on my 9500gt, there is a "config.xml" file with some parameters to tweaks for people if that lag.

I'm quite satisfied by this demo actually, lots of fun, i passed lots of time to tweak parameters too so that it look nice, lastly i wanted to make a little game out of it but finally since i'm not an artists i don't think i'm capable of it also i wanted to show more features like parralax mapping on the gun/knife models and shadows but i had some bugs that i couldn't fix... like the terrain getting weird with shadows on the second one or parralax mapping didn't work like i said in the beginners section...

Hope you enjoy it anyway.

I came in hoping to find cookies, ice cream and cakes . Looks really solid, what is the purple line in the second screen shot along the right, that ends towards the beetle.

This looks cool, i can make (static) models for you.

Some kind of magic knife/sword with a little too crap texture.

That definitely looks cool, but won't work.

Gives me a FBO error at console.

P.S. Bad feeling says that you gave us not release but debug .exes. Look at the size

[Grz-]

Nop, its compiled in release, maybe i compiled it in static tho that would explain the exe size.

Quite strange for the error try disabling all stuff in config.xml, set all to 0 in "detail" section.

That could be helpfull.

PS: Theses FBO are really strange, something tell me it have something to do with one of the extension... so try to disable it in the xml

Cool looking project, too bad it doesn't work for me. This is what it says in the console:
FBO format unsupported
FBO error
FBO incomplete
pure virtual method called

[Adler1337]

I set everything to zero and it works fine now.

FBO format unsupported and virtual method call sounds like there's a library/header mismatch.
Nice demo, though, might only need some better models

[Stratosphere]

Okay I'll make you some random cacti and dead trees, that should spruce the land scape up a bit.

I'll supply the models, you'll have to place them and make it look good in the level.that means don't place too many of them or it will look like a forest...

edit: Dang it, I'm not gonna be able to do it because my normal mapper tool is not working if it was you would have gotten some decent models... sorry.

The demo looks nice.

I noticed that if the sun flares overlapped the clouds, they would both flicker.

nice lens effect
