[fixed]MS3D animated mesh not lit correctly

Hi.

Linux, SVN1063, OpenGL.

The light is at the same position than the camera.
When the mesh rotates (the rotation is part of the animation of the mesh. This is just a rotation of the root bone), the back of the ninja should be lit but is not.

try:

((ISkinnedMesh*)mesh)->updateNormalsWhenAnimating(true);

Thanks for this tip.

ISkinnedMesh is not documented in the online API documentation.

Unfortunately, I need to reorganize my code before being able to test the effect of updateNormalsWhenAnimating(true); ...

I have changed the default state to animate normals. Since we also have lighting enabled by default this seems to make more sense, even if it's slower.
