Hi
I've got a question. Does the Irrlicht engine support *.uvw files from 3DS MAX? Because i'm a beginner at C++ and at using engines so I would be a big help if there was a way to import those files.

Yes.
Use a UVW map modifier on your objects.

So if I understand correctly what you said. The engine will automaticly import the UVW settings of the model from the 3ds file ?

surely not referring to it. You can exchange UVW easily between models in max with certain tricks, no need to do by code.

i guess he meant models done with UWV uv mapping. Then yes of course, as any uvmapped model...

Only use I think of is...making static meshes very similar so you can later one load .uvs files so to exchange uv mapping info. That's better done by the artist, imho...
