we are currently planing on doing some no-budget movie-making
when i was told about irrlicht i looked through it and was quite impressed
i wonder if it could be used for movie effect
-animated titles/credit-sequences
-animated laser beams coming of "real"-weapons (=toys/props)
-sparks
-completely animated sequences (starships for example)
anyone ever did something similar? any combining of irrlich and camera-footage?
i'll write a simple blue-screen-like plug-in for avisynth and combine it with existings plug-ins to get a nice freeware compositing software-set
i hope some peopel here are interested in this topic

irrlicht for no-budget movie effects?
All of the below seems possible, but using Irrlicht wouldn't be the same as say using a 3D modeler, scripting, and animating it to perform the same effects.
You would have to code everything and code all the scripting for your scenes. Also, you would have to create a way to save off your animations so that you can post-edit it.
I would think you'd have an easier time just using a 3D modeller/renderer like MilkShape, trueSpace, Blender, etc... as you wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel to achieve what your trying to do.

Crud, how do I do this again?
milkshape is about $25 (free trial though). Does a lot but none of it wondefully, from what I hear. TrueSpace has lots of versions, soem of the oldest ones free. Newer version a couple hundred i think.
You do a lot of programming? Really? I try to get some in, but the debugging keeps me pretty busy.
