SMaterial material;
IAttributes* attributes = FileSystem->createEmptyAttributes(driver);
attributes->read(xml, true, L"material");
Driver->fillMaterialStructureFromAttributes(material, attributes);
so I take part of an example file for irrmesh and make this - test.material
<material>

</material>
but it seems IAttributes->read will not work with IXMLReaderUTF8 because it compares values to widestrings. but the file is utf8 (I think) so using the standard IXMLReader gives me the wrong values?
how can I get the two to work together? can I get IAttributes->read to work with c-strings or do I have to get a utf16 file somehow?
btw my animation and skinning format is 90% done, I will probably make a post in open discussion when its done
