.3ds mesh help

Post by Nikata »

Hmm this is a really basic (and hopefully easy to answer) question. (I am very new to 3d design)

I exported my animated .3ds file, and loaded it with Irrlicht.

But the mesh doesn't move. It has 100 frames, and the frame loop is set to go from 0 to 100.

Any help?

I have a bad news for ya: 3ds format doesnt contain any animations data. Mesh doesnt move since there is no animation. Export yur animated model to other format Irrlicht suport. For example x
