Irrlicht Engine

Hello!

I have a small program which shows some GUI elements (combo boxes etc...). Combo boxes are filled from XML files using IrrXML's createIrrXMLReader and getAttributeValue.
I looked inside of XML and saw EF BB BF (hex) sequence at the beginning. As I understand, it is of UTF8 format.

If values ...

I have done like all you guys said, i.e. forced 32bit textures and modified texture to be POT (I made it 512x512 JPG) and it seems to be better.

Thanks!

are you using POT textures !?!?!

Sorry, I don't know what is POT
But I use BMP texture. One of them is 1841x1839 BMP file 24bit color depth.

Textures are true color high resolution BMP.
Object is a simple rectangle with one face. coordinates of textures are correct. BTW, where can I see/correct mipmaps or AF?

These parameters are set via irrEdit. But even with them I have bad quality.

Hello!

I am new to Irrlicht and I am writing a small FPS simulator.
The problem is that texture details of objects are very bad starting from some (not very big) distance from the camera.
