Irrlicht Engine

Hello, I start having trouble with the rendering of more than 20 animated mesh nodes on screen when animation is on.
I understand that by default, Irrlicht uses CPU skinning. Is there a way to make GPU skinning with shaders ?

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 ?

Great ! Then I will keep doing this.
I am using b3d format, with rigged meshes.

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.

Indeed I am using textures there.
According to the documentation it seems impossible to create a mesh copy for an animated mesh, am I right ?

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.

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.

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 ...
