problem with md3 animated model

sudhir123 · Post by **sudhir123** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 5:35 am

I m new to game development and i am using irrlicht for my hobby FPS game project .

my problem is whenever i load an animated model in .md3 format , irrlicht losses all the control over it.

in short:
1. i m not able to position it.
2. i m not able to rotate it.
3. i m not able to scale it.
4 and i cannot control the animation..it just keep on playing the full animation again and again..

I m using hello world example as the base code.

I have the same problem.

Is there a general support problem with md3, or is there an easy way to solve this?

I guess that the md3 loader is still not finished.

Is it close to be finished?

I'm not sure at all. If you provide model files for testing (please don't post links to copyrighted meshes) it would help.

I tried it myself and the animation is working great with full control over it but still can't set new position, scale and rotate it..

@sudhir123: I suggest you to change to .X - You have full control over anything:
Position
Scale
Rotation
Animation
Lighting
etc..
And for 3DS Max 9 use Panda's DirectX exporter.
