Can we draw 3D solid bent cylinders by this tool

Post by Dushyant »

Hi everyone,
I am new to this tool. I have been working on a project where I have to make 3D objects used in construction industry. I want to know whether we can make 3D rods and can bend them at any angle using this tool or not ?
Please respond fast

Thanks,
Guest

No. Only if you implement it yourself.
Irrlicht is a rendering engine (and it does a bit of collision detection).
It's not a solid modeling application.

You can, in principle, roll your own scenenode for that sort of stuff, but you won't get it out of the box.

That is true, Irrlicht can show models that are already created, and its also capable of drawing some simple things like a surface, cube etc.. but for the purpous your writing about i would suggest downloading Milkshape 3D or for more complex models maybe 3DS Max. Nevertheless both require some experiance and you will be studying for about 2\4 weeks before you get a little good with it. But sure worth it!
