Make a simple room

How do I go about making a simple 4 sided room.

You get any modeler (for example Blender) and model your room. Export it in a format known by Irrlicht (for example .obj, .x, .b3d) and load it in Irrlicht (for example in the MeshViewer).

Thanks for the rapid replies.
Would you recommend blender as the modeler to use ?

Why can't you simply suggest to create a custom mesh? That's the correct answer, telling people to create a custom scene node for this is simply incorrect.

I prefer to use Anim8or(free). There are a lot of free ones out there. It is just a matter of trying some and figuring out which one you like best.

I'd say it's embarassing, but not for me

I prefer Wings3D as modeller.

I appreciate it guys thanks.
I will have a run at blender and CartographyShop and see how I make out.
Some of the terms don't mean much to me yet such as custom scene nodes and custom mesh but once I start playing with everything I am sure things will start to gel.....and I am sure I will be asking a lot more questions.
