parallax mapping and .X model

[Mutter]

if i load my .x model as IAnimatedMeshSceneNode the garoud shading is working (the smooth groups).

as soon as im using parallax mapping and load my .x model the same way as in the parallax tutorial garoud shading is not working.

can this be?

I think gouraud shading is till working, but normals are not smoothed anymore. By searching the forums you'll find one or two threads discussing about tangent calculation without loosing smoothed normals which is what you might want to implement.

thx for answer.

yes...thats it...i searched for it but only found too complex things about that...im not really good in changing code in irrlicht...i only whant to use irrlicht.
So without changing code in irrlicht it is not possible?

i thought this would help but why is

Code: Select all

smgr->getMeshManipulator()->recalculateNormals(tangentMesh, true);

not smoothing it?
