Sprites?

Post by XXChester »

My question is pretty straight forward. I have been looking through the API.NET and through irrlicht's itself and I am not turning up anything so now I am asking here. I know Irrlicht supports 2dImages but I am wondering if the engine supports sprites...and more specifically if it supports sprite animation? If so can you send me in the right direct or give me a link that talks about it.

Also I used the search tool and I couldn't find anything about sprite animation. If irrlicht does not support it does anyone know how I can implement a directx code snippet into the engine?

Any thoughts or suggestions would be geatly appreciated.
Thank you ahead of time.

I'm not sure about them being animated, but look up billboards (basically sprites, they're 2d images that always face the camera).

I haven't looked at the newest version of irrlicht yet but it might support animated textures which is what you'd need to make the billboards animated.

you should learn how to use the search tool... :roll:

one quick search and a full site of results apeared...
but of course it's always easier to let others do the work... :twisted:

I think this one is what you want: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=22301

I said I used the search tool and typed in "Sprite Animation" and nothing came up, why would I lie about something that stupid. If people have nothing good to say just do us all a favour and shut your trap.

Thank you for the link.
