If searching this forum didn't work, then,

1. Create a new solution and select console application.

2. Add Irrlicht.NET.dll as a reference. Save your solution. Compile it and you'll get an error, which you just ignore it.

3. Then navigate to the folder where you compiled (e.g. gamename/bin/debug)

4. Copy Irrlicht.dll and Irrlicht.Net.dll there if they aren't there.

5. I think you are more of less done, try writing some code and build.

Correct if I'm wrong anywhere, I'm a noob too.

To import models,

Code: Select all

Dim map As IAnimatedMesh = smgr.GetMesh("map1/map1.3ds")

This is to load a model. Irrlicht can load .x and many other formats as well.

Code: Select all

Dim mapnode As IAnimatedMeshSceneNode = smgr.AddAnimatedMeshSceneNode(map, Nothing, 1)

Create a node and add the model in game, simple. It can be animated or non-animated too.

For the load model code where do I put that in
Module Module1

Sub Main()

End Sub

End Module
