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.<p>
At first, we need to include all headers and do the stuff we always do, like in nearly all other tutorials. <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"><span class="preprocessor">#include <<a class="code" href="irrlicht_8h.html" title="Main header file of the irrlicht, the only file needed to include.">irrlicht.h</a>></span>

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.

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. <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"> video::IMaterialRenderer* renderer = Driver->getMaterialRenderer(type);

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 know that it should store all textures in 32 bit. This necessary because for parallax mapping, we need 32 bit textures. <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"> video::IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();

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. <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"> driver->setFog(video::SColor(0,138,125,81), <a class="code" href="namespaceirr_1_1video.html#df41b1a85e067f5988ba1eb8bb50f44e998abcfd4824aaf15a95678bb444ef65">video::EFT_FOG_LINEAR</a>, 250, 1000, .003f, <span class="keyword">true</span>, <span class="keyword">false</span>);
</pre></div><p>
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. <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"> scene::IAnimatedMesh* roomMesh = smgr->getMesh(
<span class="stringliteral">"../../media/room.3ds"</span>);
scene::ISceneNode* room = 0;
<span class="keywordflow">if</span> (roomMesh)
{
smgr->getMeshManipulator()->makePlanarTextureMapping(
roomMesh->getMesh(0), 0.003f);
</pre></div><p>
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. <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"> video::ITexture* normalMap =
driver->getTexture(<span class="stringliteral">"../../media/rockwall_height.bmp"</span>);
<span class="keywordflow">if</span> (normalMap)
driver->makeNormalMapTexture(normalMap, 9.0f);
</pre></div><p>
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 another 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. <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"> scene::IMesh* tangentMesh = smgr->getMeshManipulator()->createMeshWithTangents(
roomMesh->getMesh(0));
room = smgr->addMeshSceneNode(tangentMesh);
room->setMaterialTexture(0,

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. <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"> <span class="comment">// add earth sphere</span>

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 where higher versions of pixel/vertex shaders will be implemented too. <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"> <span class="comment">// add light 2 (gray)</span>
