Why light not affect huge scale objects?

[Auradrummer]

Hello Guys,

I'm making a scenary and I have a mesh for the land. I modeled the whole terrain in a 10 x 10 object and then scaled it in 3000. The light not affect it.
After this, I scaled the model and removed the Irrlicht scale. The lights worked fine.

Why?

Thanks

When scaling a node in Irrlicht, the normals are scaled too, which messes up lighting, which is what you experience here.
To prevent this from happening, set the material flag EMF_NORMALIZE_NORMALS to true for the material of the scaled mesh.

Try:

Code: Select all

node->setMaterialFlag(EMF_NORMALIZE_NORMALS)
