Animated node

Hello, I have a small question.

If I have an animated node, and another node which is his child. If the parent is setVisible(false), it seems that the animation of the child (which is invisible too) stops. Is it a normal behaviour ?

Re: Lighting and alpha

Great ! Then I will keep doing this.

Re: Lighting and alpha

I found out I could change the cache, so it seems to solve the problem, for every new node using the same mesh, every time it has a unique cache. I hope it's the correct way to do.

Re: Lighting and alpha

Thanks, it works, but this way it actually applies the new alpha to every node using this mesh. I feel like this is a newbie mistake but I can't see how to solve it, in order to have only 1 mesh for which the new alpha applies.

Lighting and alpha

Hello,

Is is possible to make a node with an alpha < 255 when the flag EMF_LIGHTING = true ?

I'm using meshManip->setVertexColorAlpha(mesh, alpha), but the node becomes transparent only if I put the flag on false.

Thanks for your help.

Beginner question

Hello, I have been using Irrlicht for some days now and I would like to start adding some animated meshes on my project. I understood that one of the best format to use is .b3d. Well I know there are lots of posts dealing with this topic already, but they seem quite old and I'm not sure whether the ...
