Well, mdl is not supported, so no wonder that it does not work. But 3ds works, what's the problem? There's a feature list with supported mesh formats in the Irrlicht website.

my mistake... 3ds works... but i cant see anything (it loaded the mesh successfuly)
i tried this model:

when u unpack u ll find a 9mm.3ds file... is this file compatible?

if yeah its just a camera scale or position mistake...

thx, greetz

You should rotate the weapon, not the camera. Seems like 180 around x and 90 around z, but you should try until it looks right.
