What Coordinate System does Irrlicht Use?

Post by Gabumon »

I know this is a uber-noob question, but I am having a little tough time finding the answer.

What Coordinate System does Irrlicht Use?

Is it Left-Handed...
+X is Right, Y+ is Up, Z+ is Forward [Into the Screen]

Or Right Handed...
+X is Left, Y+ is Up, Z+ is Forward [Into the Screen]

I am trying to use FMOD-EX to place some sounds, but their positioning doesn't not seem to match up, and I think it is a coordinate problem.

FMOD-EX defaults to the "Left-Handed" One listed above, if Irrlicht is different what would be the best way to covert between the two.

Thanks in advance.

Staque
