gouraud shading display of a stl file

[stephaneR]

Hi,

i'm trying to load and display stl files in a modified sample.
i'm using the SVN version as I want to benefit the VBOs.
I have a problem with the material, I cannot find a way to display the stl model in gouraud shading, as I will have no textures associated with the models.
All I have a a full black model (or white)

Is that possible to use materials without textures with an imported STL file ?
if yes, how ?

thanks,

Stephane

I think you should put this line

Code: Select all

node->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);

You'll have to recalculate the normals smoothed to get smooth lighting effects. Otherwise you will get per-face normals, and hence only flat shading.
