the insides of my models dont appear

[esaptonor]

this is probably the most basic question to answer (i hope) but i am brand new to irrlicht and 3D modelling, and when i load something i drew (in anim8or) it appears fine, but the insides dont appear, and when you go inside it, say its a room, then i cant see any of it at all, it all disapears.

can anyone help me here?

Only the front faces of polygons are rendered by default.

There are two solutions to your problem. You could disable backface culling or put polys on the inside of the wall that have normals facing the inside.

To do what vitek suggested using Anim8or, select the room then go to
Edit -> Flip Normals
That will make the outside of the room invisible, but the inside will work like you want it to.

Code: Select all

node->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_BACK_FACE_CULLING,false);
