For snow go to http://zenprogramming.tripod.com/ has a great solution, unfortunately its written in C++ so heres the C# port. Just pop over to Zenprogramming to download the original to get the images for the snow particles.

Heres Nezumi's great little Ode trimesh method in C# for anyone that needs it.


protected ODE.Geoms.TriMesh createTriMesh(IAnimatedMesh mesh)
{
int i, j, ci, cif, cv;
int indexcount = 0;
int vertexcount = 0;
IMesh omesh = mesh.GetMesh(0);

// count vertices and indices
for (i = 0; i ...

how about making the Camera a child of the target node ( your character )
something like:



ISceneNode target; /* SceneNode to Chase */

Camera.Position = new Vector3D(0, 150, -250);
Camera.Target = target.Position;
target.AddChild(cam);

ILightSceneNode light = smgr.AddLightSceneNode(null, new Vector3D ...

In c# you need to use the new keyword to make a new instance of the Vector3d and Colorf i.e

ILightSceneNode light = smgr.AddLightSceneNode(0, new Vector3D(-15, 5, -105), new irr.video.SColorf(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f));

hope this helps
