Irrlicht Engine

@stefbuet: nice shot, good job.

I have added a cockpit to the planes and helicopters in my IrrOdeCar demo:



Doesn't look that good, but it was really easy to create a GUI that renders to texture (btw: the artificial horizon uses a second scene manager that renders to a texture that is used in the GUI that renders to a texture ).

A new record achieved? 17 highly detailed characters with shader skinning Each character (and the visible shadows) have 15000 triangles, around 250000 skinned triangles per frame, and the performance is 52 fps, the curious thing is that if i see this scene from other positions, it only reaches 42 fps. I wish i knew how to avoid the performance fall...

edit: The board crops a part of the image, right click on the image and select "view image"

Added a new tank model for the game.
To bad I still not get the normal maps working correctly

Should look like this:

I have added a camera that can be rotated around (or inside) the planes or helicopters in my IrrOdeCar demo:



On the second screenshot you can see the rendered texture for the cockpit using the Irrlicht GUI system:

Thou shalt cel-shade.

That looks pretty sweet, the scene looks just like a painting, I like it

Looks nice indeed

btw, what does "Thou shalt" mean?

It's archaic english for "You will" or "You shall"

I see, thanks

I'm no artist and my taste might not be pro. but that looks beautiful. Makes me feel like playing a deep RPG or something

@hendu
That is one impressive render
I love the lighting and how the celshaded effect doesn't altogether eliminate the details.
Maybe you should add in some bloom (or more specifically, HDR-tonemapping) to really bring out the contrast

Personally I wouldn't do bloom since I don't think it would go together nicely with the cel-shading (although tonemapping should be ok)
The image does look rather desaturated right now, everything is close to a greyish color, maybe this was done on purpose (and if so, ignore this post) but I think it would look better if the colors were to stand out some more

Nice

As in, nice image AND nice to see some NON programmer art in irrlicht...

Playing with gpu-generated terrain, terrain texture splatting, and some detail rubble.
