Irrlicht Engine

Thanks Skater, I'm working on the interface now and I'm not sure what’s the best way to do it. I tried using Draw2DImage to put my interface buttons at the bottom of the screen, but it isn’t drawing my image correctly - it somehow degrades the quality. But I'm not sure if this is the best approach ...

I do wonder though what is wrong with earth.x that prevented it from being detected. :?:

device.SceneManager.AddBillboardSceneNode(null, new Dimension2Df(10,10), new Vector3D(0,0,0), 2);
