hello,

thanks.

How about you build up a list of the last N positions and render them as a line strip using drawVertexPrimitiveList(). You should be able to create a scene node to do exactly that without to much trouble.

thanks Travis, I'll try that.
If anyone else has other suggestions feel free to put them here.

There should be no other suggestions, because that's the way you should do it.

If you really don't feel like programming it yourself, then try out varmint's MotionTrailSceneNode.

There's also a RibbonTrail scen node in irrExt, which is cross-platform.

just to inform anyone who could want a solution for this problem, I used the informations of this post here http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=36113 to make the trails. by the way, using drawVertexPrimitiveList() gave me a gain of 10% relative to the code that used draw3DLine().

thanks
