Messed up mesh

[residentofcity17]

[Moved to Beginners's Help]

Here is my code and the output am getting is a messed up mesh.. Can you please point out the mistake???

Code: Select all

#include <irrlicht.h>
#include <iostream>


#pragma comment(linker, "/SUBSYSTEM:windows /ENTRY:mainCRTStartup")	//// To Disable the console window	////



using namespace irr;
using namespace core;
using namespace scene;
using namespace video;
using namespace gui; 


#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")


int main() 

{


	//	The irrlicht device is the most important of all, running irrlicht: //

	IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice( EDT_DIRECT3D9 );		///		will create an irrlicht device with DIRECTX rendering.

	IVideoDriver* video = device->getVideoDriver();				///		grabs the Video Driver from the irrlicht device.

	ISceneManager* smgr = device->getSceneManager();			///		That code pretty much grabs the scene manager from the irrlicht device. the scene manager is how
																///		you will handle irrlicht from here on out, from creating a cube to adding complex animators.


	IMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("../../media/sydney.md2");
	IMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addMeshSceneNode( mesh );
	
	ICameraSceneNode* cam = smgr->addCameraSceneNode(0, vector3df(0,30,-45));

	while(device->run() && device) {
		video->beginScene(true, true, video::SColor(255,0,0,255));

		smgr->drawAll();		

		video->endScene();
	}
}

Make a post in the beginner's help forum with this info and also a screenshot of the 'messed up' mesh if possible, if not then describe how it's messed up.

Here is the image of the mesh

I'm pretty sure the problem lies here...

Code: Select all

   IMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("../../media/sydney.md2"); 

The method ISceneManager::getMesh() method returns an IAnimatedMesh*, which happens to be convertable to IMesh*, but that was causing some problems in the recent past.

I believe that you want to write something like this...

Code: Select all

   IAnimatedMesh* amesh = smgr->getMesh("../../media/sydney.md2");
   IMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addMeshSceneNode(mesh->getMesh(0));

or even this

Code: Select all

   IAnimatedMesh* amesh = smgr->getMesh("../../media/sydney.md2");
   IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(mesh);
