Irrlicht Engine

Iv just started learning shaders and Im having alot of problems with them... :cry: My number one problem (well number two compared to matrix math) is that Im having trouble with which variables I should send from IRRLicht to my shader... So I was wondering if someone could help me with this...

Here ...

After posting this question in the bug forum here, I managed to solve this by applying a patch. The problem was that although the model was rotating, its normals weren't (weird). After applying the patch the lighting updates as it should!

Thanks Hybrid!

OMG!!! It works perfectly...! :D Thank you so much Hybrid, this thing has been bugging me for some time now.
Anyways I managed to patch and compile it without any problems...!

By the way, here is a screenshot. In this scene I have a rotating 5000+ poly model and 3 dynamic lights, and all the lights ...

This patching thing is a bit complicated, but I'm more concerned with compiling the engine... :( Iv read somewhere that I might need DirectX SDK + some other files. I'm just so afraid that I might include some bad files or exclude some important ones, and then maybe the engine will crash or wont run ...

Finally an answer that makes sense...! I look into it, but I just want to say, thanks a 1 000 000!

Iv already asked about this in the beginner forum, but as time passes I'm beginning to believe that this might be a bug! :(

What it comes down to is that the dynamic lighting doesn't get updated with imported animations.
To understand this better, just imagine a scene with a dynamic ...

Anyone...?

None of those things solved the issue for me. And by the way this thing also happens with Dwarf.X mesh that comes with IRRLicht.
I even tried completely modeling a cube in MS3D and animating it, just in case 3DSMAX was messing things up, but I still got the same problem...

A small update: Iv also tried this with an .MS3D animated model and the lighting issue is still there...

Thanks for nothing needforhint...
As you can clearly read at the end of that post, his lightning problems still remained. Besides he had a lot of trouble with animation which I don't. And by the way there is nothing there that suggests him having exact same lightning problems a I do.

Thank you so much, I was beginning to think that this was only happening to me... :(
What could be causing this...? As I said, if I manually rotate the model within IRRLicht, the lightning gets updated, but not when I use the imported animation... :cry:
Could this have something to do with how the ...

I know what you mean, and the thing is that if I manually rotate the exact same mesh: cube->setRotation(core::vector3df(0,10,0)); or rotate it with the keyboard, the lightning is correctly updated.

But when using the exported animation from 3DSMAX, the lightning doesn't get updated.

Anyways, here ...

OMG! I'm so sorry for this, I forgot the key thing here...! I forgot to write that the animation was exported from 3DSMAX, its not a programmed or built in animation. I cant believe I forgot to mention the most important thing... :oops:

If I manually rotate the cube with the keyboard, the lightning ...

Anyone...? Come on people.

I have a small issue with dynamic lighting in IRRLicht. I have a simple scene with three dynamic lights of different colors. I also have there a simple animated mesh of a cube spinning.
Now the cube is properly lighted by those dynamic lights, but as it spins, the lightning doesn't get "updated ...
