Moving bones

Hello.
I am new on this forum and in games also.
I need implement a small character and move it.
I have some doubts:
- The model file should be? ( .3ds, .x, .max, .obj )
- How can I load and move the mesh?

Code: Select all

irr::scene::ISceneNode* node = 0;
node = smgr->addMeshSceneNode(
smgr->getMesh("../data/hand.3ds")->getMesh(0,255) );

Thank's

Diego

You should use a format that supports animation, like .x for example. And read the examples

Hello, LLDD
Thank you for attention

I am reading the examples and not understand every all.

About your answer, ok. I will create my model and export how .x
Now, how can I handle the pieces of my mesh?

Usually you do the complete mesh in one object. You define several animations with your 3d modelling tool and call them in Irrlicht to show the animation. So you don't need to access parts.

Ok, so I need modeling my object and make an animate.
For example, from frame 30 to 90 it punch.

Then, my code could be like this:

Code: Select all

irr::scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* anms = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(smgr->getMesh("../data/model.3ds"));
anms->setFrameLoop(30, 90);
anms->setAnimationSpeed(40);

Is it correct?[/code]

Yes, except that 3ds models are static in irrlicht (use .x instead)

Ok, but it's not works

I built a torus in 3d max and made 120 frames for animation.
I used Panda_Plugin to export .x file.
But...

Look my code

Code: Select all

irr::scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* anms = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(smgr->getMesh("../data/torus.x"));
if (anms)
{
	anms->setMaterialFlag(irr::video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);
	anms->setFrameLoop(0, 120);
	anms->setAnimationSpeed(40);
}

Do you have some .x file to test?

Take dwarf.x in the media directory.

Yes,
with him works

So, it there some good .x exporter?
Or better, a converter 3ds to .x ?

I have the exact same problem. When I tried multiply everything with 100 I'v seen some animation but not the one I wanted.
I did it like this:

Code: Select all

irr::scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* anms = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(smgr->getMesh("my .x mesh"));
if (anms)
{
   anms->setMaterialFlag(irr::video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);
   anms->setFrameLoop(0*100, 120*100);
   anms->setAnimationSpeed(40*100);
}

Edit: Got it fixed to run like in the tutorials without any *100.
The problem was that I didn't exported it right - I just changed the configurations in my exporter and it fixed it all.

Check this to see how to do it.
