Error: Parallax map render...

I have 3D Studio Max version 7.0
I created a box and exported it into *.3ds and moved it into media folder. Compiled my program, but it ran without the good brick texture. The console wrote, that it cannot find grydirt1.jpg
I found it in 3Dsmax folder and copied it into media folder. I executed my program, and console wrote:
Error: Parallax map render only supports vertices of type EVT_TANGENS

What can I do with it?

Code: Select all

mesh = device->getSceneManager()->getMesh("brick.x");
((scene::ISkinnedMesh*)mesh)->convertMeshToTangents();

Where mesh is scene::IAnimatedMesh*.

That should fix your problem.

Thank you, but it is still doing the same

Console is writing:

... and so on...

I think it's a pretty silly idea to put 60 polys into an octree... Try without. And which version of Irrlicht do you use? What's the actual code you're using?
The SVN trunk version of Irrlicht already supports the automatic conversion of 3ds and obj meshes if the material is properly defined. You might want to try it.

I am using the (i think) newest version, 1.4.1
