Hello,

here's a new screenshot of my project "SpaceCombat".
http://spacecombatgame.sourceforge.net/

Image
Some fighter ships attack a corvette in a asteroid field.

Effects:
- fire (particle)
- normal mapping (shader)
- glow (shader)
- light rays (shader)

Other:
- in the whole scene were about 3000 asteroids
- collision check of all asteroids, ships, laser shots (not visible at all :D )
- AI sets of all ships

Beavercreek from halo 2. masterchief "player character" is using a special reflection shader for his armor and visor -Thanks from so help from nadro - I plan to release to Irrlicht community. The environment uses normal maps, light maps and detail textures. The images kinda came out darker in some areas though the main application looks a lot better not sure why?

Could you share with us how you got lightmaps and normal mapping working on the same mesh? Ive been looking into it myself lately, but apparently getting a mesh with tangents AND two sets of texture coordinates is currently not possible in irrlicht. Approximating the tangent in the vertex shader is quite ugly. And doing it in the pixel shader using derivations ia too costly to use on android.

Height2Normal v. 2.1 - convert height maps to normal maps

Step back! I have a void pointer, and I'm not afraid to use it!

geometry shader will allow you to construct tangent vectors

Unfortunately, geometry shaders are not available in OpenGL ES 2.0 (and neither in 3.0 iirc)

I got to go to work I'll pm you or post here. Yeah but I am calculating the Tangents in the vertex part of the shader. I'm also using a custom vertexDescriptor which creates the tangents and still allows the mesh to use both UV channels. I also thought doing the Tangents calculations would not look %100 correct but they appear to look correct on my test. My shader also allows your to control the light map intensity, normal map strength, and detail tilling of any texture used. If your still interested I'll pm you later when I get off work.

@The_Glitch could you cleary show us which image is part of the competition entry? We only take one.

Besides, do you have the rights to use the models for this purpose? Otherwise I can't add them to our gallery.

Used one picture, fixed old lighting and reflections. Credits to Bungie and Microsoft. For a really great game :P

But if it is copyrighted content, even if it is presented using Irrlicht, it can't be posted on the gallery, isn't it? Unless you got permission from Bungie/MS...

Oh I didn't know I thought we were just suppose to show what you produced visually with Irrlicht. No I didn't get there permission but I'd figure you would be fine as long as you credit them and don't make money. I know people have been doing this for years with there art mostly just hobbyist like me. I'll delete it If I must though.

Also noted past screenshots months and I can say for sure some of those past contestants and winners were not using art that was completely theres I've seen some of those characters and other items on other forums and other places so that's why I assumed that we were just showing what we manage to produce visually in Irrlicht 3d engine. After all we all know you have to design the graphics part out because our scenes don't look like this on their own.

Are those old screenshots using copyrighted assets, or merely free ones? They might've a license to the models even if they did not make them, while you don't have a license to Halo models ;)
