Hi guys, I loaded a 3ds model into irrlicht but its mapping coordinates are not showing up properly. How can I fix it?

and more help that I need!!!

I just placed a light and attached a billboard to it (with a white texture), but it's visible only from certain angles of the camera. It fades away until it disappears.

How can I make it visible all the time?

a 3ds file wont have animation...

hmm..maybe coords got inverted in your exporting proggie?

anyway, you gotta think on othe rofrmat or characters. My preferred ones are md3(in a single piece) and x...

I'm using 3ds for testing purposes only or perhaps to add decorative elements that cast shadows.

Animated characters is the next thing I'll try, and I know I gotta use an md2 or an .x for that.

about the coordinates, nothing. They show up ok in ms3d, in unwrap3d and in 3dsmax. I'll try to load the ms3d directly.

thnx

never seen this light effect before ! is this effect appearing at an exact angle of view? and does it really fade ? like an unreal light after its covered by an objekt?

yep, it fades but without any object covering it. And it fades at any angle, specially when moving your mouse horizontally.

I think it has to dowith the "tru"and "false" options you may add .

I guess it's a trial and error day again!
