DeleD Is Going Open Source
Published (2009-11-25 20:39:00)
Parts of it anyway: DeleD Community Edition. Which means that you need to shell out if you want 'pro' features. But it's great. Delphi is not a problem - for me anyway.

It's a valid question. it could reasonably be argued that anything on "this" side of the RenderSystem API (where "RenderSystem API" includes the mesh and material/script-support classes required to support rendering and loading of rendering resources) doesn't belong in Ogre's core.

Published (2009-11-26 16:24:00)
The point of the stereo manager was to allow stereo rendering without any support from the driver Nvidia driver does wild guess and try to react upon it. Better support it really so that you can handle 3d effect much better. It seems to me that they code "profiles" for each AAA games in the driver, and even there games supporting it directly are rendered much better, and much more optimized, sharing shadow buffer for...

Indeed. And thats all dandy. I think you misunderstand what I mean though. Ogre is not the main part of the "sdk", it is one part of it. There is plenty of stuff in it, some that might be used for some projects and some that wont. It inlcudes all kinds of libraries and tools that are multiplatform with all bells and whistles. When I go into that directory and issue my make commands. I want it to build the libraries with my...

Take your pick. The only way of finding out, is to try each one. Panda3D seems to be a complete game engine. IrrLicht is less of a game engine, but still more of a game engine than Ogre. Both Panda and IrrLicht are easier to use, but if you need control - and can handle the game engine yourself, choose Ogre.

1. I believe this is the case, yes 2. AFAIK, the internal raycasting is done on an AABB basis. You need to get down to the polygon level yourself, if you so desire. There are topics on this--a good forum search should come up with some answers 3. Perhaps--I've never examined this myself, but it makes sense. There's no reason to assume your raycast is concerned ONLY with things in the view frustum...

Hi! It seems that the demo was made with my stereo manager and and interlaced setting. Currently Ogre and the stereo manager do not support the opengl settings needed for shutter glass stereo.

@ 1. I had a similar problem in the game i'm in development of. First if you haven't and if possible make your scene static geometry, (puts all the entity's / pass / shadows) into 1 batch. Example: Code: Select all Entity* pModel1 = pSceneMgr->createEntity("Model1", "Model1.mesh"); Entity* pModel2 = pSceneMgr->createEntity("Model2", "Model2.mesh"); Entity* pModel3 = pSceneMgr->createEntity...

Why not? I mean, disc space is cheap. What you're saying makes sense for larger dependencies, like Ogre itself, Qt, wxWidgets, etc. But not for small utility libraries. IMO. As for non hardcoded paths: that's the way CMake works. There's no way around that. Once it has generated a set of build scripts, you can't move the directory. However, CABAListic hasn't commented on this yet, so let's ...
