94 <p>This Tutorial is more advanced than the previous ones. If you are currently just playing around with the Irrlicht engine, you may want to look at other examples first. This tutorials shows how to create a custom scene node and how to use it in the engine. A custom scene node is needed if you want to implement a render technique the Irrlicht Engine currently does not support. For example, you can write an indoor portal based renderer or an advanced terrain scene node with it. By creating custom scene nodes, you can easily extend the Irrlicht Engine and adapt it to your own needs.</p>
95<p>I will keep the tutorial simple: Keep everything very short, everything in one .cpp file, and I'll use the engine here as in all other tutorials.</p>
96<p>To start, I include the header files, use the irr namespace, and tell the linker to link with the .lib file. </p>
97<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"><span class="preprocessor">#include &lt;<a class="code" href="irrlicht_8h.html" title="Main header file of the irrlicht, the only file needed to include.">irrlicht.h</a>&gt;</span>

105</pre></div><p>Here comes the more sophisticated part of this tutorial: The class of our very own custom scene node. To keep it simple, our scene node will not be an indoor portal renderer nor a terrain scene node, but a simple tetraeder, a 3d object consisting of 4 connected vertices, which only draws itself and does nothing more. Note that this scenario does not require a custom scene node in Irrlicht. Instead one would create a mesh from the geometry and pass it to a <a class="el" href="classirr_1_1scene_1_1_i_mesh_scene_node.html" title="A scene node displaying a static mesh.">irr::scene::IMeshSceneNode</a>. This example just illustrates creation of a custom scene node in a very simple setting.</p>
106<p>To let our scene node be able to be inserted into the Irrlicht Engine scene, the class we create needs to be derived from the <a class="el" href="classirr_1_1scene_1_1_i_scene_node.html" title="Scene node interface.">irr::scene::ISceneNode</a> class and has to override some methods. </p>

130</pre></div><p>The Irrlicht Engine needs to know the bounding box of a scene node. It will use it for automatic culling and other things. Hence, we need to create a bounding box from the 4 vertices we use. If you do not want the engine to use the box for automatic culling, and/or don't want to create the box, you could also call <a class="el" href="classirr_1_1scene_1_1_i_scene_node.html#a5fcd62dbf524b8d2d6daa61c7d6cf119" title="Enables or disables automatic culling based on the bounding box.">irr::scene::ISceneNode::setAutomaticCulling()</a> with <a class="el" href="namespaceirr_1_1scene.html#acabb2772476aa3706e65a7dc77fd9cceacf8b41fd7d45781cfb2eb7039ba6b09a">irr::scene::EAC_OFF</a>. </p>

If the scene node wishes to draw itself, it may register itself in the scene manager to be drawn. This is necessary to tell the scene manager when it should call <a class="el" href="classirr_1_1scene_1_1_i_scene_node.html#aff530cc4856792101d0aedee51ce35fa" title="Renders the node.">irr::scene::ISceneNode::render()</a>. For example, normal scene nodes render their content one after another, while stencil buffer shadows would like to be drawn after all other scene nodes. And camera or light scene nodes need to be rendered before all other scene nodes (if at all). So here we simply register the scene node to render normally. If we would like to let it be rendered like cameras or light, we would have to call SceneManager-&gt;registerNodeForRendering(this, SNRT_LIGHT_AND_CAMERA); After this, we call the actual <a class="el" href="classirr_1_1scene_1_1_i_scene_node.html#ac9795bfcb88dcaf8cba6ea3296e5d8d0" title="This method is called just before the rendering process of the whole scene.">irr::scene::ISceneNode::OnRegisterSceneNode()</a> method of the base class, which simply lets also all the child scene nodes of this node register themselves. </p>
