Irrlicht Engine

All the objects I use in my stuff are built with anim8tor and I haven't had a single problem using them with irrlicht.

I use the x exporter.

Another very handy tool is Anim8tor

With the new scripting system you can add your own exporters, importers, animators, mesh creators, .... whatever

Irrlicht interpolates between keyframes, as it should.


On my build it uses 8 frames per keyframe so if you want to set animation between keyframes 1 and 10 you would need to use 1*8 and 10*8

Don't forget that animations in Irrlicht are interpolated by a factor of 8

so if you want to use ten frames you need to setframeloop from 0-80

Noticed a couple of things.

I've got a MD2 running around on a spacestation static mesh.

1) No shadow

AnimatedMesh pr= scene.GetMesh("data\\man.md2");
player = scene.AddAnimatedMeshSceneNode(pr);
player.Scale = new Vector3D(0.15f,0.15f,0.15f);
player.Position = new Vector3D(0, 11, 0);
player ...

The SceneNodeType is AnimatedMesh.

but GetType returns SceneNode

I am loading a level designed with irredit which contains several static meshes and a single animated mesh

I am attempting to get the scenenode for the animated mesh by

SceneNode man=scene.GetSceneNodeFromName("Man");

This works okay, but I cannot cast it to an AnimatedMeshSceneNode to set the ...
