My own model format and loader?

[Mazer]

Suppose I have my own model format (for easy export from Blender) that has only the data I need for what I'm planning to do. How would I write an importer for Irrlicht to use it? Can I just add a file and change some things around or would this require re-compiling the engine? And how does the irrlicht engine handle the model data?

It's not engine recompiling required.
Please see in documentation:

Code: Select all

virtual void irr::scene::ISceneManager::addExternalMeshLoader  (  IMeshLoader *    externalLoader  )  [pure virtual]

Currently I'm working on the stereolithography (STL) file loading. Maybe I'l post my code here in future...
