Hello, I've got few questions.
1. Can I render Lights and Shaddows in software mode with irrlicht?
2. Or can I use opengl without an X server in linux?
My problem is, I've got a linux v server and it can't run an x server, and I didn't want to install it. But I want to render pictures on the server.
3. Can I configure the engine so that it renders isometric?
I can only draw lines osometric but not scenenodes.

For #2, google 'opengl framebuffer'.
Also, something you might not be aware of is that an X server runs on a client machine, and an X client runs on the server machine. It seems backwards, but the "service" an X server provides is drawing on a screen. Your Irrlicht app is an X client. Maybe you could install the necessary libraries for running X clients on the LinuxV machine (or maybe they're already there) and display it on a remote X server.
