Irrlicht Engine

For my project, I'm supposed to work with a virtual character in Irrlicht. So far, I have modelled, rigged and animated a mesh in 3ds Max and exported it to Irrlicht. I have made it possible for certain movements to be triggered by various keys during runtime (e.g. the key "L" triggers the...

Ah, that makes sense, creating a single animation track and then cutting at various frames. Thanks a lot, I will try that.

I want to place a mesh on the scene, and then play separate animations of the same mesh by pressing various keys. I have modeled and animated an object in 3ds Max, and I have placed it on the scene. But (and this is really a question for someone knowledgeable in 3ds Max) is there a way to create and...

Yeah, I was perhaps inaccurate in my original post. I didn't care what I was working with, I just wanted to make the object appear smaller on the scene. node->setScale() also does the job perfectly.

Thanks a lot.

I was wondering if there was any way to resize an imported mesh inside irrlicht code, e.g. if an object that I have imported was modeled too big and I would like to change its dimensions. Perhaps there is an answer to this in the tutorials, but I haven't found it.

I have made Panda work by changing some of the export settings. Running the irrlicht project shows the character moving all the right limbs, but the character itself looks flat, like a stick figure. It's the same with kW x-port: the object moves properly, but it doesn't look right. When I convert th...

I'm having a similar problem. I've exported an animated skinned biped as a .X file with kW Xport. However, in irrlicht, the character animation is not working. If I select the entire character (the mesh and all the bones) and move it around in 3ds max, it moves when I run the irrlicht project. Howev...

Ah! I can't believe I didn't check the dwarf model! It works, and so do simple animation exported with kW X-port. However, when I create a rigged character in 3ds max and export it, the animation doesn't work in Irrlicht. The character is there, but it's not moving. When I try exporting with Panda D...

I can't seem to make my .x animation work. I pasted the code for importing the object and animating it from various tutorials, and I must have made some critical error, but I can't seem to find it. If anyone can tell me what the problem is, I would be grateful. Maybe the entire approach is wrong? #i...

That did the job. Many thanks!

I know what you mean, but the faces aren't visible even when I'm viewing the object from afar.

Does anyone know what can cause a part of the object to not be visible? I imported a simple .X object (a box) into Irrlicht and attached a texture to it. When I run it, Visual Studio doesn't load the faces of the box that are turned directly to the camera. If I rotate around the object, again it doe...

Cool, I see now that there are 3ds max plugins for exporting in .x format.

Another (possibly silly) question: I was planning on perhaps creating an animation in 3ds max and exporting it to Irrlicht. However, it says here: http://www.irrlicht3d.org/wiki/index.php?n=Main.FAQ#riggedmeshes that Irrlicht supports STATIC 3ds meshes. I guess that means that I'd first have to conv...
