averaged normals between 2 planes in md2 calculateNormals()

in the md2 code of the engine, if calculateNormals is called, it creates a 3dplane for every triangle in the mesh and assigns the indices for that triangle the normal of the plane: what I've got: //.....................normal1.....normal2 //................................ \../ //......................

MD2 Normal tables inadequate

This a follow up post to my earlier query "MD2 lighting screwy". Since that post I've worked out that the problem with displaying md2 meshes shaded smoothly is due to a limeted number of available coordinates in the table of normal coordinates in the md2 code of the engine. As the program ...

ok, I'm exporting my md2 file from 3ds max using a maxscript written by adam barton. I'm pretty sure the script works fine, because in a couple of other md2 viewers the model is fine(these viewers rely on the normals generated with the md2 file). Changing the md2 code of Irrlicht had some promising ...

A straight import into Irrlicht results in the facets of the model popping in and out of shadow, but, it's only about 70%...
