Hi, I want to control each child's material like under sourcecode

	scene::ISceneNode* haL =  Node2->getXJointNode("child");
	haL->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_POINTCLOUD, true);

But it can't do well. so I ask is there any way to control each child's material and is it possible?

Thanks!![/code]

Well you're not getting the actual mesh, just a bone, which doesn't actually get rendered in any way so you're not actually affecting the mesh.

I don't think you can do what you want as the mesh is rendered once, all together so you'd need to load the mesh as individual models i think...

OK, thanks.

I can control each material's setting before we load the mesh. but can't do it after rending it.

and I think there is some way to control, mayabe. hmm I'll tryi it thanks. if i can't do it. I'll load the mesh individual.

so, does this mean, i could make a model in blender, attach some bones, then modify the model, using the bones, inside of irrlicht? such as moving the gun on a tank?

Thanks for your reply.

I mean I want to change child's material like α value or make material pointcloud not to mean change bone's rotation or position,I've already done it.

Thanks

Yes, that's what the bones are for. Read the Wiki documentation about the proper settings.
