animating model from 3ds max

[porki]

I'm trying to use tutorial about movement to use keyboard to drive a truck. Truck model is taken from 3ds max (exportet to .3ds or .obj file).But when I'm trying to put it in the code from tutorial

scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* anms = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(smgr->getMesh("../../media/truck.3ds"));

after compilation window disappears. Model from 3DS max isn't animated so maybe it's something connected with add method. .3ds and .obj files are ok because I was able to load them, for example, in hello world tutorial.
I'll send more code if you want.
Thank you for any suggestions!

Irrlicht's mesh 3ds loader does not support animated 3ds files. you'll have to export to x or b3d

but it isn't animated and I can load it in this code:
int main()
{
IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice( video::EDT_OPENGL, dimension2d<s32>(900, 700), 16,false, false, false, 0);
device->setWindowCaption(L"Przyklad dzialania Irrlichta ");

IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
ISceneManager* smgr = device->getSceneManager();
IGUIEnvironment* guienv = device->getGUIEnvironment();

IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("../../media/truck.3ds");
IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( mesh );

if (node)
{
node->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING, false);
node->setMD2Animation ( scene::EMAT_STAND );
}

smgr->addCameraSceneNode(0, vector3df(0,100,-100), vector3df(0,5,0));

scene::ICameraSceneNode * cam = smgr->addCameraSceneNodeFPS();
device->getCursorControl()->setVisible(false);
while(device->run())
{
driver->beginScene(true, true, SColor(255,100,101,140));

smgr->drawAll();
guienv->drawAll();

driver->endScene();
}


device->drop();

return 0;
}

oh sorry I misunderstood, and still don't understand the question.

I'm guessing "after compilation window disappears." is the important bit? Do you mean Irrlicht crashes after trying to add the mesh? Are there any messages in the console window?
