How to use the class IAnimatedMeshX

The BasheR · Post by **The BasheR** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 4:28 pm

Hi all,
for my program i use .x models, and i've just seen that a class called IAnimatedMeshX exists, but i don't know how to use it to animated my model.

Can you help me with an example of code using this class?

Thanks a lot

You don't need to use it...
You load all meshes the same way (like in the tutorials) and Irrlicht decides what format should be used then !!!

if you load a X-model Irrlicht uses IAnimatedMeshX and if you load (for example) a md2-model Irrlicht uses IAnimatedMeshMD2 and so on...

The BasheR, if you meant to ask, how to use the interface to manually animate the bones, then the answer is: you can't yet.

Well, don't know if that's is what you were asking but I only wanted to mention that, if you want to use the specific functions for X meshes, you need to make a cast conversion to the pointer that getMesh provides, i.e:

Code: Select all

yourXMeshPointer = (irr::scene::IAnimatedMeshX*) sceneManager->getMesh(meshFileName);

Well, it's a basic matter but just in case you didn't know...
