Irrlicht Engine

getTexture should be able to load PNGs by default. You need to set the last parameter of draw2DImage to true to make it use the alpha channel.

Are you calling your 2D functions before or after calling drawAll?

Irrlicht already supports PNGs, you just load them with getTexture and use draw2DImage like you would with any other image.

Looks like we're getting somewhere. Are you sure that loadMesh isn't being called? That line you added should work for loadPiece. Also, there should be a diffuse texture (you can use a solid white texture so you can focus on the normal map) or you'll probably get garbage for texture 0, that happened...

So you don't load the normal map directly, instead it's referenced by the .obj file? Maybe the textures aren't ordered the way Irrlicht expects, try applying the textures manually: node->getMaterial(0).setTexture(0,diffuse); //give the model a diffuse texture, otherwise you'll see garbage node->getM...

Could you share the diffuse texture and code related to the grenade as well? The screenshot has several details that aren't defined in the normal map.

Does it look better if you move the camera closer to it? It might be mipmapping that's fading out the details of your normal map.

"virtual" does not affect the type returned by the function, it's to allow derived classes to redefine inherited functions. http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/p ... al_members

That's inheritance: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/i ... nheritance

In Irrlicht you need inheritance so the engine can use your custom event receivers/light managers/etc, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to cast pointers to something Irrlicht recognizes.

Have you tried other models to see if they have this issue?

Sorry, my mistake.

After looking through this a bit better, I think you should be sending the sampler to the shader with the shader callback.

--Edit: forget about this, I misunderstood everything-- HLSL doesn't work with OpenGL. Either change your driver type to EDT_DIRECT3D9, or use this GLSL equivalent to saturation.hlsl (I'm not sure if this will work): //saturation_vertexShader.vert   uniform mat4 matViewProjection;   varying vec2 tex...
