swap materials?

[kimgar]

Hi!

how change the material of a node? i wanted to swap between two materials, and was hoping that something like this would work:

Code: Select all

IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("../media/mesh/sydney.md2");
IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( mesh );
node->setMaterialTexture( 0, driver->getTexture("../media/mesh/sydney.bmp") );

SMaterial blankMaterial;
node->setMaterial(0, blankMaterial);

...but obviously it doesn't, anyone know what i am missing?

ah, it's been awhile

this works

Code: Select all

node->getMaterial(0) = blankMat;

Is there any reason why you can't write

Code: Select all

node->getMaterial(0) = blankMaterial;

The getMaterial() method returns a reference to the material, so the above code just assigns the material directly [assuming there is a material at index 0].

no reason at all

it's amazing, i've been struggling for hours and finally gave up and had to ask here, then a minute later i figured it out - oh well, thanks anyway vitek!
