Eric Dire, 3D experiments with Irrlicht 3D Engine

This is a page with the progress about a 3d project using Irrlicht Engine. The goal of this project is to make a 3d FPS adventure using open source components.

Official Home Page

We have create an Official Home Page of our indie software house.

Authors

• Alessandro Schillaci: C++ Developer, Music artists and screenplay
• Sforzin Daniele: 3D Designer and modelling. Take a look at his home page.

StoryLandOS, everything starts like a story...

StorylandOS is a simple web-driven writing system that allows the creation of stories written by several authors. With StorylandOS you can create a story and see it "evolve": every registered user can add a "chapter" to the story, and so ensue an evolution of the initial narrative stream.

Irrlicht SelectDevice Utility

This little utility (just an header file...) manages to configure an Irrlicht Device with a Graphical Interface: this loads and saves configuration Irrlicht Device's parameters automatically.
Just "inlude" my selectdevice.h file and call selectDevice() function.

The main.cpp code will be very short:

#include 
#include "selectdevice.h"

using namespace irr;
using namespace core;
using namespace scene;
using namespace video;
using namespace gui;
using namespace io;

int main(int argc, char** argv) {

  IrrlichtDevice* device = selectDevice();
  if (!device) {
    return 1;
  }
  device->setWindowCaption(L"SelectDevice test");
  IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
  scene::ISceneManager* smgr = device->getSceneManager();
  IGUIEnvironment* guienv = device->getGUIEnvironment();

  device->getCursorControl()->setVisible(false);

  ISceneNode* cube = smgr->addCubeSceneNode();
  cube->setPosition(vector3df(0, 0, 50));
  cube->setMaterialTexture(0, device->getVideoDriver()->getTexture("wood.jpg"));
  cube->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);

  smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS();

  while (device->run()) {
    driver->beginScene(true, true, SColor(255, 100, 101, 140));
    smgr->drawAll();
    guienv->drawAll();
    driver->endScene();
  }
  device->drop();
  return 0;
}
