Irrlicht Screenshot Thread

[etcaptor]

@ZDimitor, very good scenes - looks like in real game, my3d right?
Is there any possibility in my3d for exporting any dummy coordinates for particles and other stufs /i saw that in scenest are no particles added yet/
Can you give any idea about this?

[ZDimitor]

Yes i have many ideas:

For example in MAX or Gile[s] we can create objects (with simple geometry - boxes) with such names Dummie_PlayerEntry or Dummie_ParticleEntry... And in loader, we can find meshes with such names and create anything you need (create particles or else...).

There is just one problem, i don't know, how to get this additional information from interface IMeshLoader. Thats all.

Here is my particles





Its OpenGL without Antialiasing

ZD...the lighting in that scene is really nice...is that done with lightmaps or with irrlicht dynamic lights?? the rays of light coming in the windows (with a faint visible sunbeam) are what really get me about it...
also just some real nice quality map artwork there...

[Guest]

Its a ligtmaps of course (3DSMAX, and export in My3D.)

Moonbeams is just transparent meshes without any lighting.

That is great. Can you see how we can make something like this? Which structure in my3d contains parameter for Name of meshes in scene?

I cannot see how can do this with IMeshLoader. Maybe you can add any additional class in my3d for storage of that sort of data and by pointer to .class instance user can be invoke these datas?

In this case with my3d user will can create one complete level include coordinates and names for particless, player's and enemy's objects.

Here is (file CMy3DMeshFileLoader.cpp)

Code: Select all

// mesh header
struct SMyMeshHeader
{   
c8  Name[256];   // mesh  name !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u32 MatIndex;    // index of the mesh material
 u32 TChannelCnt; // mesh mapping channels count
} PACK_STRUCT;

You can hack My3DLoader code and add your stuff after this code lines:

Code: Select all

SMyMeshHeader meshHeader;
file->read(&meshHeader, sizeof(SMyMeshHeader));

for example like this:

Code: Select all

core::stringc MeshName=meshHeader.Name;
if (MeshName.Name=="Dummie_ParticleNode")
{
//here you a calculating bounding box of dummie node geometry
//and store it in some CMy3DDataStorage class
}

You need to think about structure of CMy3DDataStorage class (to be able to store in it all neded user data) and interface with it from CSceneManager class.

Actually i use in this purposes my own SceneEditor, so i just don't need such features before, but we can extend possibilities of My3D tools together

In CMY3DStuff.h for struct SMyMeshHeader was written material name instead mesh name for comment. Now I saw that it's mesh name, thanks.

About CMy3DDataStorage class, I thinks that it's good idea and must be defined exactly what kind of parameters an corresponding names are needed for this purpose. Like triggers, doors, creature generators... Hehe fog switchers...and many other things.
I will think about this these days.

Ok here is a screen for my under ground pvp arena! I crossed out the name becouse I have not released any info on the game yet!

[vermeer]

tekken like ?

[vermeer]

if so or related, it'd be interesting to follow its progress....

[Joe_Oliveri]

tekken like ?

Ok all I will say is think Shenmue.

[Guest]

Heh! I thought it was a joke.

All I saw was a fully black window at first.
Only after I closed the shades out here did I notice any light in that picture. (I have a pretty old monitor here).

You might just raise the ambient level a tad.

I'm proud of this game
