Custom vertex attribute data

[afuzzyllama]

Is it possible to define custom vertex attribute data for a shader in Irrlicht? In OpenGL 3 you can define a vertex buffer object and define the data structure with glVertexAttribPointer(). With Irrlicht currently using Opengl 2.1, is it possible to do something like glVertexAttribPointer() with the current material system?

if you are talking about what i think yes its possible but only with the FVF branch.

What is the FVF branch?

[Nadro]

This is svn branch:
http://sourceforge.net/p/irrlicht/code/ ... -pipeline/

[afuzzyllama]

Is there a page with a write up about how this works? Looking over the branch I cannot find any examples.

Look at CNullDriver.cpp line: 247. You can see in this place how to declare vertex descriptor.

Is this shader pipeline ever going to be merged into trunk?

GL ES pipeline comes first (people are working on that). Then 1.9 release. Then work on merging shader pipeline will start I think/hope.
