creating CCal3dSceneNode

[terrorchrist]

Hi guys!
As I am trying to use the CCal3dSceneNode from
http://thomas.webtracker.ch/jahia/Jahia/pid/672
I wondered how to load this SceneNode into the Scenemanager!
I mean calling sceneManager->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(...) obviously would not work!

so I thought about creating an empty SceneNode with the manager and afterwards just instanciate the CCal3dSceneNode with

Code: Select all

ISceneNode * node = this->smgr->addEmptySceneNode();
CCal3DSceneNode *cal = new CCal3DSceneNode("../media/models/knight/cal3d.cfg", node, this->smgr);

but this seems to be not clean programming for me as I just want ONE scene node and not a parent->child relationship.
So can I also just load the cal3dscenenode into the scenemanager?

Use getRootSceneNode() instead of addEmptySceneNode().

ok thanks
so it would be

Code: Select all

CCal3DSceneNode *cal = new CCal3DSceneNode("../media/models/knight/cal3d.cfg", 0, this->smgr);

this->smgr->getRootSceneNode()->addChild(node);


but my problem NOW is, that my program crashes as I instanciate my CalCoreModel

Code: Select all

m_pcalCoreModel = new CalCoreModel("lolly");

because of the std::bad_alloc exception....

did anyone of you ever have this prob?

Hi!
I already solved creating the CalCoreModel without crashing by using the cal3d_d.dll instead of the cal3d.dll (the release version).

but now I encountered the problem, that the cal model is not rendered....

how can I achieve this?

I mean until now I've this code:

Code: Select all

ISceneNode *IrrlichtManager::LoadMesh(PlayerRemote *player, const c8* configfile, vector3df location, vector3df rotation, vector3df scale)
	{
		CCal3DSceneNode *node = new CCal3DSceneNode(configfile,0,this->smgr);
		this->smgr->getRootSceneNode()->addChild(node);
		node->setPosition(location);
		node->setRotation(rotation);
		node->setScale(scale);
		node->init();
		return node;				
	};

what is missing?

come on!
please someone tell my why my model is not viewed!

please someone tell my why my model is not viewed!

Maybe no one wants to watch it
If you want to know why it's not shown you might try to use the scene node the correct way. Or maybe even better use Klasker's Cal3D node as it is still supported...
I think you don't have to create the core model, this is done automatically by the scene node. Just create the node and init it. Try to introduce some output to therender functions of the scene node to check which of the three are executed. And avoid the scene node transformations (rotation etc.) at first such that no side effects will disturb the rendering.

ok I managed to compile my app with klaskers cal3d scenenode, but i find it hard to figure out, how it is used...

is there any tutorial on this?

if not: please tell me what I have to do to load a model...

Can someone make a port for this to Ironpython or boo? it would be greatly appreaciated!!
