animation scale, appearance & disappearance

lpb313 · Post by **lpb313** » Mon Jul 19, 2010 2:55 pm

Hello,

I'm French student and I work on Irrlicht since 3 months.
I wants to do different animation.

First scale animation : in the doc of irr::scene::ISceneNodeAnimator Class Reference they say that :

A scene node animator is able to animate a scene node in a very simple way. It may change its position, rotation, scale and/or material.

But I don't find the method on irr::scene::ISceneManager for create scaleAnimator. Can you help me ?

Next I want to create appearance & disappearance animation for IMeshSceneNode. My ideal it's to change alpha parameters of the Mesh. Can I use the TextureAnimator ? Have you go other idea or I had to create a new animator class ?

Thanks you very much for your help

I think for both of your ideas you'd have to implement your own animator from ISceneNodeAnimator.

The scale animator can also be found in irrext. The alpha change needs to be done via vertex alpha or texture alpha. You can change both in a custom animator you need to write on your own.

Thanks for you answer.
In fact I find the CSceneNodeAnimatorScale in irrext : http://irrext.svn.sourceforge.net/viewv ... ScaleNode/
I try to use it

Next I will try to code my own animator for appearance & disappearance animation. Where can I publish my code for the community ?

Thanks you very much for your help

You can post code in the Code Snippets area. Thanks in advance.
