how to programically remove part of model

Hi,

I've a node loaded into my scene. The node is created by loading dwarf.x
http://www.psionic3d.co.uk/gallery/albu ... /dwarf.zip

I'd like to programically remove (or hide) the axe (joint called "weapon") from his hand.

Is it possible with the engine?

It doesn't look like there are any methods to do that. On the bright side, Irrlicht is relatively easy to modify. Do you fancy having a pop at it?

A better way could be to remove the weapon completely in a 3d modelling tool and use a separate weapon node. That one can be attached to the joint and animated as before. Exchanging the weapon would happen using the usual scene node interface.

Yes I also came to this idea, unfortunately Blender refused to open this model and I do not know any other free app capable of opening x files.

Eventually I could try to edit x file using text editor, maybe that is not so hard in this case...

dwarf model is made by psionic3d, there is model in different formats on his site:
