Loading Models

Post by bdpdonp »

When I load a model, is thee a way to determine what axis the front of the model is on? I am not skilled at all in building models but I notice that there appears to be no standard so I am hoping the information is imbedded and irrlicht can read it.

Thanks

I'm new to Irrlicht, But when i load at model it appears to point towards the negative X-axis. hopefully someone more experienced can chime in.

Usually, the model loads as it is saved. So if your model faces the negative x-axis, it will load so. Due to differences in ccordinate systems, this might not always work. But it's more than a rule of thumb.
