Irrlicht Engine

Hi,

I'm trying to develop a game and I would like to use 3d Studio Max to create characters, a level, guns, lights, etc (it's a first person shooter). But I can't figure out how am I supposed to import things correctly to irrlicht.

I know irrlicht supports .x format and other meshes (it also supports 3ds meshes which is great) but I have no idea on how to apply textures. So I tried to do things like this:

3d studio max -> Quake 3 map editor -> bsp file -> irrlicht.
but I just can't do anything with editors like gtkradiant or quark (some basic things are not accessible and advanced things are right in front of your eyes and I ... bah. no way i'm successfully)

So i thought of doing it like this:
3DS meshes -> irrlicht -> apply textures -> done the visual part.
I know how to create static and animated meshes in 3d studio max and import them in irrlicht. the thing I dont know is how I apply textures to my meshes (both static and animated).

I've been looking for an answer for about one week and I got nothing.
Thanks

Have you tried this ? :

does that solve the problem on animated meshes too?

The .x format does contain the texture information. As long as the textures are in the same path as the .x Irrlicht should load them automatically for you.
