I just began to look at irrlicht.
I try to find a way to load a complete scene (meshes+lights actually).
Since .irr files don't work with the current irrEdit version I thought Collada format would be the better way to do it. I just download an exporter for 3dsMax.
But When I try to load a collada file nothing is drawn. The window stays gray.
Then I would try to control each mesh of my Collada ifile ndependantly. but Scene Manager->getParameters()->setParameter(scene::COLLADA_CREATE_SCENE_INSTANCES, true);
doesn't seem to be recognized.
My code is from one of the example of the site.
Code: Select all
/*
This Tutorial shows how to load a Quake 3 map into the
engine, create a SceneNode for optimizing the speed of
rendering and how to create a user controlled camera.
Lets start like the HelloWorld example: We include
the irrlicht header files and an additional file to be able
to ask the user for a driver type using the console.
*/
#include <irrlicht.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace irr;
int main()
{
// ask user for driver
video::E_DRIVER_TYPE driverType;
printf("Please select the driver you want for this example:\n"\
" (a) Direct3D 9.0c\n (b) Direct3D 8.1\n (c) OpenGL 1.5\n"\
" (d) Software Renderer\n (e) Apfelbaum Software Renderer\n"\
" (f) NullDevice\n (otherKey) exit\n\n");
char i;
std::cin >> i;
switch(i)
{
case 'a': driverType = video::EDT_DIRECT3D9;break;
case 'b': driverType = video::EDT_DIRECT3D8;break;
case 'c': driverType = video::EDT_OPENGL; break;
case 'd': driverType = video::EDT_SOFTWARE; break;
case 'e': driverType = video::EDT_SOFTWARE2;break;
case 'f': driverType = video::EDT_NULL; break;
default: return 1;
}
// create device and exit if creation failed
IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice(driverType, core::dimension2d<s32>(640, 480), 16, false, true);
if (device == 0)
return 1; // could not create selected driver.
video::IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
scene::ISceneManager* smgr = device->getSceneManager();
scene::IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("testCollada.DAE");
//smgr->getParameters()->setParameter(scene::COLLADA_CREATE_SCENE_INSTANCES, true);
scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node = 0;
smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS();
/*
The mouse cursor needs not to be visible, so we make it invisible.
*/
device->getCursorControl()->setVisible(false);
int lastFPS = -1;
while(device->run())
if (device->isWindowActive())
{
driver->beginScene(true, true, video::SColor(0,200,200,200));
smgr->drawAll();
driver->endScene();
int fps = driver->getFPS();
if (lastFPS != fps)
{
core::stringw str = L"Irrlicht Engine - Quake 3 Map example [";
str += driver->getName();
str += "] FPS:";
str += fps;
device->setWindowCaption(str.c_str());
lastFPS = fps;
}
}
/*
In the end, delete the Irrlicht device.
*/
device->drop();
return 0;
}
If someone could help me it would be nice. I am lost.
