Irrlicht Engine

Thanks, I appreciate it, I will look into those options

So I've been using Irrlicht for a bit now, but I haven't hardly touched the GUI until very recently.. I've gone through the tutorial and it makes enough sense on how everything works. What I'm more curious about, that I haven't really seen in the tutorials is 2 things..

first, is there a simple way ...

thanks man! Definitely helpful . I'll try it tomorrow if I can.

Noo, I dont want the camera to follow the user, I just want it to move automatically along the y axis. The user will control a player model, but the model will not go out side of the screen, and will thus inexitably move forward as the camera does. I hope that clarifies this some?

"The procedure entry point createDevice could not be located in the dynamic link ...

I could be wrong about this, as i'm too lazy to look it up to be sure. But I want to say .bmp file formats dont support transparency. Try saving as a .png or another format that does support transparency and see if that works.

Always remember... Google is your best friend ;) http://artist-3d.com/

that should be enough to atleast help get you started, but I highly doubt your gonna find all the models you need for free on the net.
Maybe if you show off what your engine can do it'll get some modelers interested in your ...
