Irrlicht 0.9 Release

Spintz · Post by **Spintz** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 4:18 pm

For those of you that don't check the mainpage!

The GeoMipMap scene node I had done is now integrated into Irrlicht, along with a ton of other updates!

I've yet to check out the multi-pass rendering, but that shows huge promise for mixing with shaders and creating incredible terrains!

Oh, I had some trouble downloading from sourceforge ( pretty slow ) so I uploaded irrlicht-0.9 on my site, in case others have trouble with sourceforge, my site's very fast!

Sourceforge has a bunch of mirrors. Try those.

UMN is close to me, but sucks. I get faster speeds downloading from overseas mirrors.

Voxel is further but is fast.

Niko seems to be on fire...I was still getting familiar with all the new stuff in 0.8, and here we are with 0.9 already. Won't be long till we hit the big 1.0, as OGRE has recently also.

Good work Niko

Hehe

A good reason for this quick release is that there are not that much new features than in other releases, but I think it it quite nice anyway.

Hey Niko, question about the FPS camera, is there any reason you don't put in the patch in CCameraFPSSceneNode::animate() to change

Code: Select all

if (cursorpos.X < 0.49f || cursorpos.X > 0.51f ||
	cursorpos.Y < 0.49f || cursorpos.Y > 0.51f)

to :

Code: Select all

if (cursorpos.X != 0.5f || cursorpos.Y != 0.5f )

??? It makes the FPS camera a lot smoother!

i was once told that irrlicht was not good for open maps with large terrains, and to use ogre. Well, I messed with the terrain demo and clearly they were wrong.

not to mention that the bump mapping and per pixel lighting look very, very, nice.

I would like to know when Irrlicht.Net will be up to par with the normal library. I know everyone says just learn c++, but honestly i dont have the time or will to do so. I would like to develop in .Net languages, first because i already know those, second, it is so much easier, intellisense actually works, and you dont have to use all those pointers at all. Anyway, to not turn this into a flamewar between programming languages and generations, this is just my personal 2 cents. Question still remains tho, it is pretty hard to develop in .Net when there is no GUI stuff at all, plus the terrain renderer and other features are missing as well.

LOD terrain has been long awaited by many it seems, all it needs now is a SOAR implementation to be complete.

SOAR implementation?

I think the devmaster.net engine page needs to be updated?
