Hi.

what is the best way to create standard objects in irrlicht? i see only cubes in api.

next step is to transform this standard objects. example the cube get a new length of 6, but height und width is 4. Or a self created pipe get a new lenght of 20 in runtime.

have anybody a tutorial for this?

Code: Select all

cube->setScale(core::vector3df(4.f, 4.f, 6.f));

As for a pipe,If you're using Irrlicht trunk you could use a cylinder mesh created with..

Code: Select all

scene::IMesh* mesh = smgr->getGeometryCreator()->createCylinderMesh(...);
