Awesome! What's the license for this?

The same license of irrlicht.
You can modify,ditribute, use for commercial project etc....

I just added it to my game, and it's great. There is one very strange glitch, though. The gravity for my enemies has stopped working. I've had this problem involving RTT before, so I don't think it's a problem with your code.

EDIT: By the way, I used both glow at 128 and dream at 32 at the same time, and it created a beautiful light bloom effect.

40-50 frames per second on nVidia GeForce fx 5200.

Great!

really cool effects, and easier to use than shaders it looks like...
I wish the shader interface was simpler, then it might be as straightforward to use as your code

How can the shader interface get any simpler? Or rather, what is so complicated about it? I prefer using the shader interface over standard materials anyway.

HELP!!!!

I tried it using Irrlicht 1.0 (the one my project uses) and fixed the ONE error (SMaterial doesn't have a PointCloud property in 1.0)
Now I get this:

Any ideas? is it 1.0 or my code I'm using?
If not I'll have to try to upgrade to 1.1 again and fix the errors

Hello,
try to change in the "create" method the value of ScaleX and SizeY by :

Code: Select all

f32 resultat = cos((CamGlow->getFOV()/2));

resultat = 1.09f/resultat;

resultat = (resultat*resultat) - (1.09f*1.09f);

resultat = sqrt(resultat);

f32 SizeY = resultat;

f32 ScaleX = resultat * CamGlow->getAspectRatio();

It's the maths i use in the version 1.2 and that work perfect but it doesn't work in the 1.1 because I think the FOV is buggy.

Thanks... I'll try that when I get home

JPulham · Post by **JPulham** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 6:47 pm

nope... no effect

maybe I'll try a version of it without my 'game framework' in action as well... like a hello world or something.

same demo code with your fix AND irrlicht 1.0
same problem.
Both driver, OGL & D3D.
I may give up on it for now

Hey i really like these effects and would like to use them in ShootIrr(look at project announcements) if u don't mind. Do you think that u could adjust the code that it works with a normal icamerascenenode? would be awesome

JPulham · Post by **JPulham** » Sun Oct 15, 2006 4:08 pm

hmmm.
I tried the demo and it workes with 1.1, but as soon as I plug it into my game (updated to 1.1

) it causes a crash

Maybe I'll try again.

I use VC++ toolkit 2003.
What compiler did u use?
Should I use irr:: for ambiguity problems in compiling?
Do you wish I would just shut up

?

Hello,
I have tested with GNU GCC under linux and windows with code::blocks and that work perfect.
I have compiled and tested this code with Visual C++ 2005 express and the platform SDK of microsoft and that work perfect to.
But maybe with the VC++ toolkit 2003 that doesn't work, i dunno ...
