Are there any tutorials that cover this by any chance?

I seem to have run into another strange difficulty. I'm getting a drastic frame drop after adding 28 models of around 800 vertices each. This and a simple player tick which moves my player mesh side to side are the only things happening in the scene. All models are .obj format exported using MeshLab ...

Brilliant thanks CuteAlien, this very informative, I'm usually a 2d guy, and this is my first proper foray into 3d. Your pointers helped loads!

Cheers for the quick response!

I realise now that ...

Hey everyone, I've recently gotten into Irrlicht for a small personal project, I was wondering what everyone's more experienced opinions were on some inheritance topics. Is it more functional in Irrlicht to have your base game classes inherit from the likes of say IMeshNode or have an instance of an ...
