Irrlicht Engine

well look around the forum for bsp entity loader.
it loaded for me lights, but dont mesh. maybe there is a loader what loades mesh too.

Wow! I’ve never heard of this before and I think they’re awesome!

I need to know if I can use the QTCreator IDE????

I've download and played a bit with the DeleD editor, and it's really cool.

Does irrlicht load .dxs or .dmf? If it doesn't, which plugin can i use with DeleD to export a file uplodable with irrlicht?

dmf is supported, look here: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/feature ... tedformats

I didn't see it in the list so I recommend Freeworld3D

The only "semi-pro" inexpensive (like 30$) editor I found, anyhow I like it

looking for a both BSP Compatable \ Effects Compatable (like bumpmapping) editor but with top down drawing (like quark)? for irrlicht, is this possible even :\

DeleD is good becouse its free, powerful and supported by irrlicht.

Maplet is good for putting together levels quickly and can export to B3D files, which DeleD imports.

Visual Editor is an Editor FOR irrlicht. This lets you take meshes from any supported program and add particles, animation, Sound etc.

Thanks for your guide but it is difficult to apply all this direction. I think that we are difficult to practice them and turn them into yours

Giles, for lightmaps, importing 3ds, ASE, obj, etc created in any 3d app. Giles exports to My3d (supported by Irrlicht):

Quake Army Knife:(AKA Quark)

The link to Visual Editor (Editor FOR irrlicht) is dead.. anywhere have a new link ?

Last time I used Rhino it was strictly nurbs based which is useless unless you go back in time a few years. Nurbs won't work with a game engine AT ALL. They can't be UV unwrapped so you cannot texture them with anything other than procedurals. If you are going to use Rhino I strongly suggest you convert all your meshes to polygons. Rhino is probably a very poor choice of programs for Irrlicht. Blender is free and basically a clone of Maya. Also I really wouldn't use a modeling program to be doing level editing. You do have the option of doing so but a nice editor that has bsp support is going to make your life much easier.

Is it possible to use the UT3 level editor? That would be super nice because it's open source and the UDK just came out.

Will lights in deled3d transfer into irrlicht or will I need to create lights in Irrlicht?

I'm using L3DT to create my heightmaps, but when I try to load them in irrlicht, they look horrible:

You can see that the terrain looks like stairs.. why?


EDIT: fixed! I was exporting it as 8 bit-bitmap, now that I changed to 24 bit it works fine.

Anyone mentioned IrrB 0.6 It works with the latest Blender 2.61 and its AWESOME!!!!
Has a Shiiid load of Features for the tiny script it is! Ok, not thaaat tiny...

I use MapScape for my maps! (its a remake of "3d world studio", written in "dark basic pro")

What are the cons of using irrEdit. It seems to me the best way to go would be to make b3d files with Blender and then load them up in irrEdit and make a scene.
