No animation in .X files

I just picked up Irrlicht after many months away, and when I try to load a text .X file saved by DirectX Mesh Viewer (DX june 2005) the file loads and the model displays fine, but will not animate. Is this a known problem?

Thanks,


Miguel

I am a rabid Blender user and I can tell you that it is virtually impossible to produce an importer for native blender files, because as Ton says they are basically a memory dump. I believe there's an ongoing project in Blender that will allow save to an XML format. In the meantime, you are better o...

i would suggest looking at coding your own physics because ODE is a very limited physics engine But from my own experience (I coded a physics engine for a car racer many moons ago) physics as a concept is exciting but a b*stard to code. e.g the stacking scenario is a fairly envolved process, what w...

What about bump-mapping? Yeah, I was about to sugest that... I had posted that one on the old board. I believe that now that we have the water node that effectively uses multi-texturing, adding a new shading type for bump should be relatively simple - in Niko's terms, at least. Is this man a force ...

Ah, interesting. But maybe in previous versions of the demo you would get a black screen or very low fps instead of no shadow. I added a check for this in 0.4, switching off shadows if they would cause problems. Yes, I got atrociously slow framerates with shadows on in 0.3 (but still no visible sha...
