|
- This Tutorial shows how to set up the IDE for using the
- Irrlicht Engine and how to write a simple HelloWorld program
- with it. The program will show how to use the basics of
- the VideoDriver, the GUIEnvironment and the SceneManager.

-
-
-
-
-
- After we have set up the IDE, the compiler will know - where to find the Irrlicht Engine header files so - we can include it now into our code. -
In the Irrlicht Engine, everything can be found in - the namespace 'irr'. So if you want to use a class - of the engine, you'll have to type an irr:: before - the name of the class. For example, to use the IrrlichtDevice, - write: irr::IrrlichtDevice. To avoid having to put - irr:: before of the name of every class, we tell the - compiler that we use that namespace. -
There are 5 sub-namespaces in the Irrlicht Engine. - Take a look at them: you can read a detailed description - of them in the documentation by clicking on the top - menu item 'Namespace - List'. To keep this example simple, we don't want - to have to specify the name spaces, Hence: -
To be able to use the Irrlicht.DLL file, we need - to link with the Irrlicht.lib. We could set this option - in the project settings, but to make it easy we use - a pragma comment: -
Now the main method: to keep this example simple - we use int main(), which can be used on any platform. - However, on Windows platforms, we could also use the - WinMain method if we would want to get rid of the - console window which pops up when starting a program - with main(). -
The most important function of the engine is the - 'createDevice' function. The Irrlicht Device, which - is the root object for doing everything with the engine, - can be created with it. createDevice() has 7 parameters: -
Now we set the caption of the window to some nice text. - Note that there is a 'L' in front of the string: the - Irrlicht Engine uses wide character strings when displaying - text. -
Now we store a pointer to the video driver, the SceneManager, - and the graphical user interface environment so that - we do not always have to write device->getVideoDriver(), - device->getSceneManager(), and device->getGUIEnvironment(). -
We add a hello world label to the window using the - GUI environment. The text is placed at the position - (10,10) as top left corner and (200,22) as lower right - corner. -
To display something interesting, we load a Quake 2
- model and display it. We only have to get the Mesh from
- the Scene Manager with getMesh() and add a SceneNode
- to display the mesh with addAnimatedMeshSceneNode().
- Instead of loading a Quake2 file (.md2), it is also
- possible to load a Maya object file (.obj), a complete
- Quake3 map (.bsp), or a Milshape file (.ms3d).
To make the mesh look a little bit nicer, we change - its material a little bit: we disable lighting because - we do not have a dynamic light in here and the mesh - would be totally black. Then we set the frame loop so - that the animation is looped between the frames 0 and - 310. Then, at last, we apply a texture to the mesh. - Without it the mesh would be drawn using only a solid - color. -
To look at the mesh, we place a camera into 3d space - at the position (0, 10, -40). The camera looks from - there to (0,5,0). -
Ok. Now that we have set up the scene, let's draw everything: - we run the device in a while() loop until the device - does not want to run any more. This would be when the - user closes the window or presses ALT+F4 in Windows. -
Everything must be drawn between a beginScene() and - an endScene() call. The beginScene clears the screen - with a color and also the depth buffer, if desired. - Then we let the Scene Manager and the GUI environment - draw their content. With the endScene() call, everything - is presented on the screen. -
After we are finished, we have to delete the Irrlicht - Device created earlier with createDevice(). With the - Irrlicht Engine, you should delete all objects you created - with a method or function that starts with 'create'. - The object is deleted simply by calling ->drop(). - See the documentation - for more information. -
That's it. Compile and run. -- |

- Tutorial 2.Quake3Map |
-
|
- This Tutorial shows how to load a Quake 3 map into the engine, create
- a SceneNode for optimizing the speed of rendering and how to create
- a user controlled camera. Please note that you should know the basics
- of the engine before starting this tutorial, just take a short look
- at the first tutorial, 1.HelloWorld, if you haven't done this yet.

-
|
- Lets start! |
- |||||||||||||
|
-
- Lets start like the HelloWorld example: We include the irrlicht header
- files and an additional file to be able
As already written in the HelloWorld example, in the Irrlicht Engine,
- everything can be found in the namespace 'irr'. To get rid of the irr::
- in front of the name of every class, we tell the compiler that we use
- that namespace from now on, and we will not have to write that 'irr::'.
Again, to be able to use the Irrlicht.DLL file, we need to link with - the Irrlicht.lib. We could set this option in the project settings, - but to make it easy, we use a pragma comment lib: -
Ok, lets start. Again, we use the main() method as start, not the WinMain(), - because its shorter to write. -
Like in the HelloWorld example, we create an IrrlichtDevice with createDevice(). - The difference now is that we ask the user to select which hardware accelerated - driver to use. The Software device would be too slow to draw a huge Quake - 3 map, but just for the fun of it, we make this decision possible too. -
Get a pointer to the video driver and the SceneManager so that we do - not always have to write device->getVideoDriver() and device->getSceneManager(). -
To display the Quake 3 map, we first need to load it. Quake 3 maps are - packed into .pk3 files wich are nothing other than .zip files. So we add - the .pk3 file to our FileSystem. After it was added, we are able to read - from the files in that archive as they would directly be stored on disk. -
Now we can load the mesh by calling getMesh(). We get a pointer returned
- to a IAnimatedMesh. As you know, Quake 3 maps are not really animated,
- they are only a huge chunk of static geometry with some materials attached.
- Hence the IAnimated mesh consists of only one frame,
Because the level was modelled not around the origin (0,0,0), we translate - the whole level a little bit. -
Now we only need a Camera to look at the Quake 3 map. And we want to
- create a user controlled camera. There are some different cameras available
- in the Irrlicht engine. For example the Maya Camera which can be controlled
- compareable to the camera in Maya: Rotate with left mouse button pressed,
- Zoom with both buttons pressed,
The mouse cursor needs not to be visible, so we make it invisible. -
We have done everything, so lets draw it. We also write the current frames - per second and the drawn primitives to the caption of the window. The - 'if (device->isWindowActive())' line is optional, but prevents the - engine render to set the position of the mouse cursor after task switching - when other program are active. -
In the end, delete the Irrlicht device. -
That's it. Compile and play around with the program. |

- Tutorial 3.CustomSceneNode
- |
-
|
-
-
- This Tutorial is a tutorial for more advanced developers. If you are - currently just playing around with the Irrlicht engine, please look - at other examples first. This tutorial 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 is - currently not supporting. For example you can write a indoor portal - based renderer or a advanced terrain scene node with it. With creating - custom scene nodes, you can easily extend the Irrlicht Engine and adapt - it to your needs. -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. - At the end of the tutorial, the result will look like the image below. - This looks not very exciting, but it is a complete customized scene - node and a good point to start from creating you own scene nodes. -
|
- |
-
|
- Lets start! |
- ||||||||||||
|
-
- To start, I include the header files, use the irr namespace, and tell - the linker to link with the .lib file. -
Here comes the most sophisticated part of this tutorial: The class
- of our very own custom scene node. To keep it simple, To let our scene node be able to be inserted into the Irrlicht Engine - scene, the class we create needs only be derived from the ISceneNode - class and has to override some methods. -
First, we declare some member variables, to hold data for our tetraeder:
- The bounding box, 4 vertices, and
The parameters of the constructor specify the parent of the scene node, - a pointer to the scene manager, and an id of the scene node. In the - constructor itself, we call the parent classes constructor, set some - properties of the material we use to draw the scene node and create - the 4 vertices of the tetraeder we will draw later. -
- The Irrlicht Engine needs to know the bounding box of your scene node. - It will use it for doing 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 write - AutomaticCullingEnabled = false;. - -
- Before it is drawn, the OnPreRender() method of every scene node in
- the scene is called by the scene manager. 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 the
- ::render method. 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).
In the render() method most of the interresting stuff happenes: The Scene - node renders itself. We override this method and draw the tetraeder. -
At least, we create three small additional methods. GetBoundingBox()
- returns the bounding box of this scene node,
That's it. The Scene node is done. Now we simply have to start the engine, - create the scene node and a camera, and look at the result. -
Create our scene node. Note that it is dropped (->drop()) instantly - after we create it. This is possible because the scene manager now takes - care of it. This is not nessecary, it would also be possible to drop it - at the end of the program. -
To animate something in this boring scene consisting only of one tetraeder, - and to show, that you now can use your scene node like any other scene - node in the engine, we add an animator to the scene node, which rotates - the node a little bit. -
Now draw everything and finish. -
That's it. Compile and play around with the program. |

- Tutorial 4.Movement
- |
-
|
-
-
- This Tutorial shows how to move and animate SceneNodes. The basic concept - of SceneNodeAnimators is shown as well as manual movement of nodes using - the keyboard. -The program which is described here will look like this: -
|
- |
-
|
- Lets start! |
- |||||||||||
|
-
- As always, I include the header files, use the irr namespace, and tell - the linker to link with the .lib file. -
In this tutorial, one of our goals is to move a scene node using some
- keys on the keyboard. We store a pointer to the scene node we want to
- move with the keys here.
To get events like mouse and keyboard input, or GUI events like "the - OK button has been clicked", we need an object wich is derived - from the IEventReceiver object. There is only one method to override: - OnEvent. This method will be called by the engine when an event happened. - We will use this input to move the scene node with the keys W and S. -
If the key 'W' or 'S' was left up, we get the position of the scene - node, and modify the Y coordinate a little bit. So if you press 'W', - the node moves up, and if you press 'S' it moves down. -
The event receiver for moving a scene node is ready. So lets just create - an Irrlicht Device and the scene node we want to move. We also create - some other additional scene nodes, to show that there are also some different - possibilities to move and animate scene nodes. -
Create the node for moving it with the 'W' and 'S' key. We create a - sphere node, which is a built in geometric primitive scene node. - We place the node at (0,0,30) and assign a texture to it to let it look - a little bit more interesting. -
Now we create another node, moving using a scene node animator. Scene
- node animators modify scene nodes and can be attached to any scene node
- like
The last scene node we add to show possibilities of scene node animators - is a md2 model, which uses a 'fly straight' animator to run between to - points. -
To make to model look right we set the frames between which
- the animation should loop, rotate the model around 180 degrees, and adjust
- the animation speed and the texture.
To be able to look at and move around in this scene, we create a first - person shooter style camera and make the mouse cursor invisible. -
We have done everything, so lets draw it. We also write the current frames - per second and the name of the driver to the caption of the window. -
That's it. Compile and play around with the program. -

- Tutorial 5.User Interface
- |
-
|
-
-
- This tutorial shows how to use the built in User Interface of the Irrlicht - Engine. It will give a brief overview and show how to create and use - windows, buttons, scroll bars, static texts and list boxes. -The program which is described here will look like this: -
|
- |
-
|
- Lets start! |
- ||||||||||
|
-
- As always, we include the header files (conio and curses for getting - user input from the console), and use the irrlicht namespaces. We also - store a pointer to the Irrlicht device, a counter variable for changing - the creation position of a window, and a pointer to a listbox. -
The Event Receiver is not only capable of getting keyboard and mouse
- input events, but also events of the graphical user interface (gui).
- There are events for almost everything: Button click, Listbox selection
- change, events that say that a element was hovered and so on. To be
- able to react to some of these events, we create
If a scrollbar changed its scroll position, and it is 'our' scrollbar
- (the one with id 104), then we change the
If a button was clicked, it could be one of 'our' three buttons. If
- it is the first, we shut down the engine.
Ok, now for the more interesting part. First, create the Irrlicht device. - As in some examples before, we ask the user which driver he wants to - use for this example: -
The creation was successful, now we set the event receiver and store - pointers to the driver and to the gui environment. -
We add three buttons. The first one closes the engine. The second creates - a window and the third opens a file open dialog. The third parameter is - the id of the button, with which we can easily identify the button in - the event receiver. -
Now, we add a static text and a scrollbar, which modifies the transparency
- of all gui elements. We set the maximum value of the scrollbar to 255,
- because that's the maximal value for a color value.
- To make the font a little bit nicer, we load an external font and set it - as new font in the skin. An at last, we create a nice Irrlicht Engine logo - in the top left corner. - -
That's all, we only have to draw everything. -

- Tutorial 6. 2D Graphics
- |
-
|
-
-
- This Tutorial shows how to do 2d graphics with the Irrlicht Engine. - It shows how to draw images, keycolor based sprites, transparent rectangles - and different fonts. You will may consider this useful if you want to - make a 2d game with the engine, or if you want to draw a cool interface - or head up display for your 3d game. -The program which is described here will look like this: -
|
- |
-
|
- Lets start! |
- |||||||||
|
-
- As always, I include the header files, use the irr namespace, and tell - the linker to link with the .lib file. -
At first, we let the user select the driver type, then start up the - engine, set a caption, and get a pointer to the video driver. -
All 2d graphics in this example are put together into one texture, - 2ddemo.bmp. Because we want to draw colorkey based sprites, we need - to load this texture and tell the engine, which part of it should be - transparent based on a colorkey. In this example, we don't tell it the - color directly, we just say "Hey Irrlicht Engine, you'll find the - color I want at position (0,0) on the texture.". Instead, it would - be also possible to call driver->makeColorKeyTexture(images, - video::SColor(0,0,0,0)), to make e.g. all black pixels transparent. - Please note, that makeColorKeyTexture just creates an alpha channel - based on the color. -
To be able to draw some text with two different fonts, we load them.
- Ok, we load just one, as first font we just use the default font which
- is built into the engine.
Everything is prepared, now we can draw everything in the draw loop, - between the begin scene and end scene calls. In this example, we are - just doing 2d graphics, but it would be no problem to mix them with - 3d graphics. Just try it out, and draw some 3d vertices or set up a - scene with the scene manager and draw it. -
First, we draw 3 sprites, using the alpha channel we created with makeColorKeyTexture. - The last parameter specifiys that the drawing method should use thiw alpha - channel. The parameter before the last one specifies a color, with wich - the sprite should be colored. (255,255,255,255) is full white, so the - sprite will look like the original. The third sprite is drawed colored - based on the time. -
Drawing text is really simple. The code should be self explanatory. -
At last, we draw the Irrlicht Engine logo (without using a color or an - alpha channel) and a transparent 2d Rectangle at the position of the mouse - cursor. -
That's all, it was not really difficult, I hope. -

- Tutorial 7. Collision detection
- and response
- |
-
|
-
-
- In this tutorial, I will show how to collision detection with the Irrlicht - Engine. I will describe 3 methods: Automatic collision detection for - moving through 3d worlds with stair climbing and sliding, manual triangle - picking and manual scene node picking. -The program which is described here will look like this: -
|
- |
-
|
- Lets start! |
- ||||||||
|
-
-
-
- To start, we take the program from tutorial 2, which loaded and displayed - a quake 3 level. We will use the level to walk in it and to pick triangles - from it. In addition we'll place 3 animated models into it for scene - node picking. The following code starts up the engine and loads a - quake 3 level. I will not explain it, because it should already be - known from tutorial 2. -
So far so good, we've loaded the quake 3 level like in tutorial
- 2. Now, here comes something different: We create a triangle selector.
- A triangle selector is a class which can fetch the triangles from
- scene nodes for doing different things with them, for example collision
- detection. There are different triangle selectors, and all can be
- created with the ISceneManager. In this example, we create an OctTreeTriangleSelector,
- which optimizes the triangle output a little bit by reducing it like
- an octree. This is very useful for huge meshes like quake 3 levels.
We add a first person shooter camera to the scene for being able
- to move in the quake 3 level like in tutorial 2. But this, time, we
- add a special animator to the camera: A Collision Response animator.
- This thing modifies the scene node to which it is attached to in that
- way, that it may no more move through walls and is affected by gravity.
- The only thing we have to tell the animator is how the world looks
- like, how big the scene node is, how gravity and so on. After the
- collision response animator is attached to the camera, we do not have
- to do anything more for collision detection, anything is done automaticly,
- all other collision detection code below is for picking. And please
- note another cool feature: The collsion response animator can be attached
- also to all other scene nodes, not only to cameras. And it can be
- mixed with other scene node animators. In this way, collision detection
- and response in the Irrlicht
Because collision detection is no big deal in irrlicht, I'll describe
- how to do two different types of picking in the next section. But
- before this, I'll prepare the scene a little. I need three animated
- characters which we
For not making it to complicated, I'm doing picking inside the drawing - loop. We take two pointers for storing the current and the last selected - scene node and start the loop. -
After we've drawn the whole scene whit smgr->drawAll(), we'll do - the first picking: We want to know which triangle of the world we are - looking at. In addition, we want the exact point of the quake 3 level - we are looking at. For this, we create a 3d line starting at the position - of the camera and going through the lookAt-target of it. Then we ask - the collision manager if this line collides with a triangle of the world - stored in the triangle selector. If yes, we draw the 3d triangle and - set the position of the billboard to the intersection point. -
Another type of picking supported by the Irrlicht Engine is scene
- node picking based on bouding boxes. Every scene node has got a bounding
- box, and because of that, it's very fast for example to get the scene
- node which the camera looks
That's it, we just have to finish drawing. -

- Tutorial 8. Special Effects
- |
-
|
-
-
- This tutorials describes how to do special effects. It shows how to - use stencil buffer shadows, the particle system, billboards, dynamic - light and the water surface scene node. -The program which is described here will look like this: -
|
- |
-
| Lets start! | -|||||||
|
-
-
-
- We start like in some tutorials before. Please note that this time, - the 'shadows' flag in createDevice() is set to true, for we want to - have a dynamic shadow casted from an animated character. If your this - example runs to slow, set it to false. The Irrlicht Engine checks - if your hardware doesn't support the stencil buffer, and disables - shadows by itself, but just in case the demo runs slow on your hardware. -
For our environment, we load a .3ds file. It is a small room I modelled
- with Anim8or and exported it into the 3ds format because the Irrlicht
- Engine did not support the .an8 format when I wrote this tutorial.
- I am a very bad 3d graphic artist, and so the texture mapping is not
- very nice in this model. Luckily I am a better programmer than artist,
- and so the Irrlicht Engine is able to create a cool texture mapping
- for me: Just use the mesh manipulator and create a planar texture
- mapping for the mesh. If you want to see the mapping I made with Anim8or,
- uncomment this line. I also did not figure out how to
Now, for the first special effect: Animated water. It works like - this: The WaterSurfaceSceneNode takes a mesh as input and makes it - wave like a water surface. And if we let this scene node use a nice - material like the MT_REFLECTION_2_LAYER, it looks really cool. We - are doing this with the next few lines of code. As input mesh, we - create a hill plane mesh, without hills. But any other mesh could - be used for this, you could even use the room.3ds (which would look - really strange) if you wanted to. -
The second special effect is very basic, I bet you saw it already - in some Irrlicht Engine demos: A transparent billboard combined with - a dynamic light. We simply create a light scene node, let it fly around, - an to make it look more cool, we attach a billboard scene node to - it. -
The next special effect is a lot more interesting: A particle system.
- The particle system in the Irrlicht Engine is quit modular and extensible
- and yet easy to use. There is a particle system scene node into which
- you can put particle emitters, which make particles come out of nothing.
- These emitters are quite flexible and usually have lots of parameters
- like direction, amount and color of the particles they should create. Because only with emitters particle system would be a little bit
- boring, there are particle affectors, which modify particles during
- they fly around. They can be added to the particle system, simulating
- additional effects like gravity or wind. The particle affector we
- use in this example is an affector, which modifies the color of the
- particles: It lets them fade out. Like the particle emitters, additional
- particle affectors can also be implemented by you, simply derive a
- class from IParticleAffector and add it with addAffector(). After
- we set a nice material to the particle system, we have a cool looking
- camp fire. By adjusting material, texture, particle emitter and affector
- parameters, it is also easily possible to create smoke, rain, explosions,
- snow, and so on.
As our last special effect, we want a dynamic shadow be casted from
- an animated character. For this we load a DirectX .x model and place
- it into our world. For creating the shadow, we simply need to call addShadowVolumeSceneNode().
- The color of shadows is only adjustable globally for all shadows, by
- calling ISceneManager::setShadowColor(). Voila, here is our dynamic
- shadow.
Finally we simply have to draw everything, that's all. -

- Tutorial 9. Mesh Viewer
- |
-
|
-
-
- This tutorial shows how to create a more complex application with
- the engine. We construct a simple mesh viewer using the user interface
- API and the scenemanagement of Irrlicht. The program which is described here will look like this: -
|
- |
-
| Lets start! | -|||||||||||
|
-
-
-
- We start like in most other tutorials: Include all nesessary header - files, add a comment to let the engine be linked with the right .lib - file in Visual Studio, and deklare some global variables. We also - add two 'using namespece' statements, so we do not need to write the - whole names of all classes. In this tutorial, we use a lot stuff from - the gui namespace. -
The three following functions do several stuff used by the mesh - viewer. The first function showAboutText() simply displays a messagebox - with a caption and a message text. The texts will be stored in the - MessageText and Caption variables at startup. -
The second function loadModel() loads a model and displays it using - an addAnimatedMeshSceneNode and the scene manager. Nothing difficult. - It also displays a short message box, if the model could not be loaded. - -
Finally, the third function creates a toolbox window. In this simple - mesh viewer, this toolbox only contains a tab control with three edit - boxes for changing the scale of the displayed model. -
To get all the events sent by the GUI Elements, we need to create - an event receiver. This one is really simple. If an event occurs, - it checks the id of the caller and the event type, and starts an action - based on these values. For example, if a menu item with id 100 was - selected, if opens a file-open-dialog. -
Most of the hard work is done. We only need to create the Irrlicht - Engine device and all the buttons, menus and toolbars. We start up the - engine as usual, using createDevice(). To make our application catch - events, we set our eventreceiver as parameter. The #ifdef WIN32 preprocessor - commands are not necesarry, but I included them to make the tutorial - use DirectX on Windows and OpenGL on all other platforms like Linux. - As you can see, there is also a unusual call to IrrlichtDevice::setResizeAble(). - This makes the render window resizeable, which is quite useful for a - mesh viewer. -
The next step is to read the configuration file. It is stored in the
- xml format and looks a little bit like this:
That wasn't difficult. Now we'll set a nicer font and create the Menu. - It is possible to create submenus for every menu item. The call menu->addItem(L"File", - -1, true, true); for example adds a new menu Item with the name "File" - and the id -1. The following parameter says that the menu item should - be enabled, and the last one says, that there should be a submenu. The - submenu can now be accessed with menu->getSubMenu(0), because the - "File" entry is the menu item with index 0. -
- We want a toolbar, onto which we can place colored buttons and important - looking stuff like a senseless combobox. - -
- To make the editor look a little bit better, we disable transparent gui - elements, and add a Irrlicht Engine logo. In addition, a text, which will - show the current frame per second value is created, and the window caption - changed. - -
- That's nearly the whole application. We simply show the about message - box at start up, and load the first model. To make everything look better, - a skybox is created and a user controled camera, to make the application - a little bit more interactive. Finally, everything is drawed in a standard - drawing loop. - -
- Compile and run this, and you have a fully functional 3d Mesh viewer. - |

- Tutorial 10. Shaders
- |
-
|
-
-
- This tutorial shows how to use shaders for D3D8, D3D9 and OpenGL with - the engine and how to create new material types with them. It also shows - how to disable the generation of mipmaps at texture loading, and how - to use text scene nodes. -This tutorial does not explain how shaders work. I would recommend - to read the D3D or OpenGL documentation, to search a tutorial, or to - read a book about this. -The program which is described here will look like this: -
|
- |
-
| Lets start! | -|||||||||||
|
-
-
-
- At first, we need to include all headers and do the stuff we always - do, like in nearly all other tutorials: -
Because we want to use some interesting shaders in this tutorials,
- we need to set some data for them to make them able to compute nice
- colors. In this example, we'll use a simple vertex shader which will
- calculate the color of the vertex based on the position of the camera.
- For this, the shader needs the following data: The inverted world
- matrix for transforming the normal, the clip matrix for transforming
- the position, the camera position and the world position of the object
- for the calculation of the angle of light, and the color of the light.
- To be able to tell the shader all this data every frame, we have to
- derive a class from the IShaderConstantSetCallBack interface and override
- its only method, namely OnSetConstants(). This method will be called
- every time the material is set.
The next few lines start up the engine. Just like in most other - tutorials before. But in addition, we ask the user if he wants this - example to use high level shaders if he selected a driver which is - capable of doing so. -
Now for the more interesting parts. If we are using Direct3D, we
- want to load vertex and pixel shader programs, if we have
In addition, we check if the hardware and the selected renderer
- is capable of executing the shaders we want. If not, we simply set
- the filename string to 0. This is not necessary, but useful in this
- example: For example, if the hardware is able to execute vertex shaders
- but not pixel shaders, we create a new material which only uses the
- vertex shader, and no pixel shader. Otherwise, if we would tell the
- engine to create this material and the engine sees that the hardware
- wouldn't be able to fullfill the request completely,
Now lets create the new materials.
Now its time for testing out the materials. We create a test cube - and set the material we created. In addition, we add a text scene node - to the cube and a rotatation animator, to make it look more interesting - and important. -
Same for the second cube, but with the second material we created. -
- Then we add a third cube without a shader on it, to be able to compare - the cubes. - -
- And last, we add a skybox and a user controlled camera to the scene. For - the skybox textures, we disable mipmap generation, because we don't need - mipmaps on it. - -
- Now draw everything. That's all. - -
- Compile and run this, and I hope you have fun with your new little shader - writing tool :). - |

- Tutorial 11. Per pixel lighting
- |
-
|
-
-
- This tutorial shows how to use one of the built in more complex materials - in irrlicht: Per pixel lighted surfaces using normal maps and parallax - mapping. It will also show how to use fog and moving particle systems. - And don't panic: You dont need any experience with shaders to use these - materials in Irrlicht. -The program which is described here will look like this: -
|
- |
-
| Lets start! | -|||||||||||||
|
-
-
-
- At first, we need to include all headers and do the stuff we always - do, like in nearly all other tutorials. -
For this example, we need an event receiver, to make it possible - for the user to switch between the three available material types. - In addition, the event receiver will create some small GUI window - which displays what material is currently being used. There is nothing - special done in this class, so maybe you want to skip reading it. -
We need to add a warning if the materials will not be able to be
- displayed 100% correctly. This is no problem, they will be renderered
- using fall back materials, but at least the user should know that
- it would look better on better hardware. We simply check if the material
- renderer is able to draw at full quality on the current hardware.
- The IMaterialRenderer::getRenderCapability() returns 0 if this is
- the case.
- Before we start with the interesting stuff, we do some simple things: - Store pointers to the most important parts of the engine (video driver, - scene manager, gui environment) to safe us from typing too much, add - an irrlicht engine logo to the window and a user controlled first person - shooter style camera. Also, we let the engine now that it should store - all textures in 32 bit. This necessary because for parallax mapping, - we need 32 bit textures. - -
- Because we want the whole scene to look a little bit scarier, we add - some fog to it. This is done by a call to IVideoDriver::setFog(). There - you can set - various fog settings. In this example, we use pixel fog, because it - will work well with the materials we'll use in this example. Please - note that you will have to set the material flag EMF_FOG_ENABLE to 'true' - in every scene node which should be affected by this fog. - -
- To be able to display something interesting, we load a mesh from a .3ds - file which is a room I modeled with anim8or. It is the same room as - - from the specialFX example. Maybe you remember from that tutorial, I - am no good modeler at all and so I totally messed up the texture mapping - in this model, but we can simply repair it with the IMeshManipulator::makePlanarTextureMapping() - method. - -
- Now for the first exciting thing: If we successfully loaded the mesh - we need to apply textures to it. Because we want this room to be displayed - with a very cool material, we have to do a little bit more than just - set the textures. Instead of only loading a color map as usual, we also - load a height map which is simply a grayscale texture. From this height - map, we create a normal map which we will set as second texture of the - room. If you already have a normal map, you could directly set it, but - I simply didn´t find a nice normal map for this texture. The normal - map texture is being generated by the makeNormalMapTexture method - of the VideoDriver. The second parameter specifies the height of the - heightmap. If you set it to a bigger value, the map will look more rocky. - -
- But just setting color and normal map is not everything. The material - we want to use needs some additional informations per vertex like tangents - and binormals. - Because we are too lazy to calculate that information now, we let Irrlicht - do this for us. That's why we call IMeshManipulator::createMeshWithTangents(). - It - creates a mesh copy with tangents and binormals from any other mesh. - After we've done that, we simply create a standard mesh scene node with - this - mesh copy, set color and normal map and adjust some other material settings. - Note that we set EMF_FOG_ENABLE to true to enable fog in the room. - -
- After we've created a room shaded by per pixel lighting, we add a sphere - into it with the same material, but we'll make it transparent. In addition, - because the sphere looks somehow like a familiar planet, we make it - rotate. The procedure is similar as before. The difference is that we - are loading - the mesh from an .x file which already contains a color map so we do - not need to load it manually. But the sphere is a little bit too small - for our needs, so we scale it by the factor 50. - -
- Per pixel lighted materials only look cool when there are moving lights. - So we add some. And because moving lights alone are so boring, we add - billboards - to them, and a whole particle system to one of them. We start with the - first light which is red and has only the billboard attached. - -
- Now the same again, with the second light. The difference is that we - add a particle system to it too. And because the light moves, the particles - of the particlesystem will follow. If you want to know more about how - particle systems are created in Irrlicht, take a look at the specialFx - example. - Maybe you will have noticed that we only add 2 lights, this has a simple - reason: The low end version of this material was written in ps1.1 and - vs1.1, which doesn't allow more lights. You could add a third light - to the scene, but it won't be used to shade the walls. But of course, - this will change in future versions of Irrlicht were higher versions - of pixel/vertex shaders will be implemented too. - -
- Finally, draw everything. That's it. - -

- Tutorial 12. Terrain Rendering
- |
-
|
-
-
- This tutorial will briefly show how to use the terrain renderer of - Irrlicht. It will also show the terrain renderer triangle selector to - be able to do collision detection with terrain. -The program which is described here will look like this: -
|
- |
-
| Lets start! | -|||||||
|
-
-
-
- In the beginning there is nothing special. We include the needed - header files and create an event listener to listen if the user presses - the 'W' key so we can switch to wireframe mode and if he presses 'D' - we toggle to material between solid and detail mapped. -
The start of the main function starts like in most other example. - We ask the user for the desired renderer and start it up. -
First, we add standard stuff to the scene: A nice irrlicht engine - logo, a small help text, a user controlled camera, and we disable - the mouse cursor. -
Here comes the terrain renderer scene node: We add it just like
- any other scene node to the scene using ISceneManager::addTerrainSceneNode().
- The only parameter we use is a file name to the heightmap we use.
- A heightmap is simply a gray scale texture. The terrain renderer loads
- it and creates the 3D terrain from it.
To be able to do collision with the terrain, we create a triangle - selector. If you want to know what triangle selectors do, just take - a look into the collision tutorial. The terrain triangle selector - works together with the terrain. To demonstrate this, we create a - collision response animator and attach it to the camera, so that the - camera will not be able to fly through the terrain. -
To make the user be able to switch between normal and wireframe mode, - we create an instance of the event reciever from above and let Irrlicht - know about it. In addition, we add the skybox which we already used - in lots of Irrlicht examples. -
That's it, draw everything. Now you know how to use terrain in Irrlicht. -

- Tutorial 13. Render to Texture
- |
-
|
-
-
- This tutorial shows how to render to a texture using Irrlicht. Render - to texture is a feature with which it is possible to create nice special - effects. In addition, this tutorial shows how to enable specular highlights. -The program which is described here will look like this: -
|
- |
-
| Lets start! | -||||||
|
-
-
-
- In the beginning, everything as usual. Include the needed headers, - ask the user for the rendering driver, create the Irrlicht Device: -
Now, we load an animated mesh to be displayed. As in most examples,
- we'll take the fairy md2 model. The difference here: We set the shininess
To make specular highlights appear on the model, we need a dynamic - light in the scene. We add one directly in vicinity of the model. - In addition, to make the model not that dark, we set the ambient light - to gray. -
The next is just some standard stuff: Add a user controlled camera - to the scene, disable mouse cursor, and add a test cube and let it - rotate to make the scene more interesting. -
To test out the render to texture feature, we need a render target - texture. These are not like standard textures, but need to be created - first. To create one, we call IVideoDriver::createRenderTargetTexture() - and specify the size of the texture. Please don't use sizes bigger - than the frame buffer for this, because the render target shares the - zbuffer with the frame buffer. And because we want to render the scene - not from the user camera into the texture, we add another, fixed camera - to the scene. But before we do all this, we check if the current running - driver is able to render to textures. If it is not, we simply display - a warning text. -
Nearly finished. Now we need to draw everything. Every frame, we
- draw the scene twice. Once from the fixed camera into the render target
- texture and once as usual. When rendering into the render target,
- we need to disable the visibilty of the test cube, because it has
- the render target texture applied to it.

- Tutorial 14. Win32 Window
- |
-
|
-
-
- This example only runs in Windows and demonstrates that Irrlicht can - run inside a win32 window. MFC and .NET Windows.Forms windows are possible - too. -The program which is described here will look like this: -
|
- |
-
| Lets start! | -|||
|
-
-
-
- In the begining, we create a windows window using the windows API. - I'm not going to explain this code, because it is windows specific. - See the MSDN or a windows book for details. -
So now that we have some window, we can create an Irrlicht device - inside of it. We use Irrlicht createEx() function for this. We only - need the handle (HWND) to that window, set it as windowsID parameter - and start up the engine as usual. That's it. -
Now the only thing missing is the drawing loop using IrrlichtDevice::run().
- We do this as usual. But instead of this, there is another possibility:
- You can also simply use your own message loop using GetMessage, DispatchMessage
- and whatever. Calling
That's it, Irrlicht now runs in your own windows window. - |

- Tutorial 15. Load .irr File |
-
|
- Since version 1.1, Irrlicht is able to save and load the full scene - graph into an .irr file, an xml based format. There is also an editor - available to edit those files, named irrEdit on http://www.ambiera.com/irredit, - which can also be used as world and particle editor. This tutorial shows - how to use .irr files. -

-
|
- Lets start! |
- |||
|
-
- Lets start: Create an Irrlicht device and setup the window. -
Now load our .irr file. .irr files can store the whole scene graph - including animators, materials and particle systems. And there is also - the possibility to store arbitrary user data for every scene node in - that file. To keep this example simple, we are simply loading the scene - here. See the documentation at ISceneManager::loadScene and ISceneManager::saveScene - for more information. So to load and display a complicated huge scene, - we only need a single call to loadScene(). -
That was it already. Now add a camera and draw the scene. -
