Irrlicht Extensions

Posted on:April 18 2008

There is now a new project available at sourceforge net, named IrrExt. Managed by bitplane and Zeuss, it is a collection of extensions to the Irrlicht Engine, like scene nodes, animators, GUI elements, materials, shaders, mesh loaders, physics wrappers and more, just about any extension to Irrlicht. Here is the official forum announcement.

Dmitry also started a similar named project at sourceforge.net, named 'irrlichtEx'. It is a small static library used to provide users with some extension classes and methods that are not provided by Irrlicht itself natively and will not be implemented there due to architecture unification and 100% portability.

Comments:

great idea! maybe include it in with the official irrlicht releases. you know, have another folder called 'contrib' or something.

The only thing i can´t really understand is why a "new project" displays a message like "As of 2006-06-12 23:43, this project is no longer under active development." ...

@technoinside It appears that this project is now being restarted, even though the project page hasn't been updated. If you browse the SVN, you will notice that the trunk branch was updated as recently as three days ago. ;)

Judging from the Irrlicht home page one might also conclude that it died last year .....
