Hello for all
I am starting in Irrlicht and have a little problem.

I am using a directx file to load my model.
So, I want changing some mesh pieces, for example, the arm or the head.
How can I do it?
Is it possible in Irrlicht?

Thakns a lot

Do you want to move the parts, or do you really want to modify the vertices and faces? Modifications of the underlying mesh should be done in a 3d modelling tool. For movement you need access to the joints of the skeleton. This is possible with an extension (Acki's bone extension) or with the new animation system, which is still in testing phase, though. Try to search with the search button for these two things.

Hello Hybrid
Thank you for your attention

I want move the bones and the mesh joined to its. That is, something like a animation in real time instead of only play animations made a prior.

I found the Ackis extension but it doesn't work with the actual Irrlicht version.

Is there any date for a new version of irrlicht with new system of animation?
Will be this feature in this new version?

Thanks a lot

Diego

It's already in the brach. You can get a version comparable to 1.3.1 with the new animation system when using the branch from SVN. Read the 'New animation system' thread in OpenDiscussion.
