General Question: Projection of a 2D GUI on a 3D plane?

Post by Corak »

Hello around!

Is it possible to create a 2D GUI plane with the irrlicht engine and use it as material for a 3D plane (like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-FeieAFLGM)?

Kind regards,
Corak

1. It is possible to render GUI to bitmap and use it as texture. There is a "13.RenderToTexture" demo.
2. Regarding to video (clickable areas) - this is a little tricky, but I guess it could be done with triangle selector and transformation of mouse coords.
