Irrlicht Engine

Right click at the top of your screen to split the screen, creating a new menu opposite from your properties menu. Click on the button in the bottom left corner and set the menu to "UV / Image Editor".

Fascinating. I assume these are found in irrlicht-1.8.2/source/irrlicht. They're the CPP files like mongoose mentioned, right?

I've read the documentation for IMeshLoader and ISceneLoader, but I'd like to know more about how irrlicht loads files, especially files with animations.

Where should I look?

@sunnystormy Sorry about that. It is good that you use 2.75, though, as that is the version I am dabbling with right now. I'll try to explain everything from scratch. Your textures won't appear in irrlicht unless: a) your mesh has a UV map, and b)your mesh is linked to an appropriate external textur...

You're using procedural textures. You need to unwrap the mesh into a UV map, create a texture that matches the UV map, then go to texture and import the texture as an image. This is a little advanced, but a great tutorial. http://dev.metaio.com/content-creation/3d-animation/model-export-from-blender...

@SunnyStormy

Is there any way you can post the .blend file you used? Blender can't import .b3d files.

@sunnystormy

I'm just glad you guys didn't run me off or tell me to "do my own damn homework", as some communities have a tendency of doing.

Even if I can't get useAnimationFrom() to work, I've come up with another (insane) idea to keep me occupied.

Once you figure out the ISkinnedMesh typecasting issue, give it another shot and let me know if it works. I think solving this and documenting it would be useful for the Irrlicht community as a whole. :) Gee, thanks. :lol: I'll keep trying, though. It would be great if there was a way to store loc/...

@SunnyStormy I tried your second suggestion first, with the same result as before. My animnode mesh was moving; my other meshes were not. I tried your first suggestion as well. I can't get it to work, and logically, there's no reason to believe it would do anything that my original code didn't. Here...

Sorry for failing to reply to your answer. I figured out how to export in Blender. Thank you, though.

@SunnyStormy I implemented your changes again. The animated mesh in animnode is doing exactly what it is supposed to. Here is my device loop:   while(device->run())     {         driver->beginScene(true, true, SColor(0,200,200,200));           smgr->drawAll();         guienv->drawAll();           dr...

@SunnyStormy I've implemented your suggestions, but something is still...off.       IAnimatedMesh* maletorsomesh = smgr->getMesh("C:/Users/James/Documents/Psychophagus/Assets/Male/Male_Chest.b3d");     IAnimatedMesh* maleheadmesh = smgr->getMesh("C:/Users/James/Documents/Psychophagus/...

Fair enough. But, I have tried creating a scene node for the animations (which just placed a new mesh in the same place as my other one) and also using setFrameLoop for each of the scene nodes (which did absolutely nothing, it seems).

    IAnimatedMesh* maletorsomesh = smgr->getMesh("C:/Users/James/Documents/Psychophagus/Assets/Male/Male_Chest.b3d");     IAnimatedMesh* maleheadmesh = smgr->getMesh("C:/Users/James/Documents/Psychophagus/Assets/Male/Male_Head.b3d");     IAnimatedMesh* malehandsmesh = smgr->getM...
