Irrlicht Engine

I am fairly inexperienced with Irrlicht and am trying to figure out how to create a rotation animator that decelerates over time. From looking around I need to make my own animator or set up a physics engine. I'm looking for a simple solution here so I think the physics engine approach might be a bit much.

For a custom animator I would have something like which behaves as normal but decelerates to 0 over the course of 1 second.

I was wondering if I am approaching this the right way or if perhaps I am missing something and I can achieve this functionality some other way.

Yes, a custom animator would be the easiest way to do this

Thanks, I'll look into this. Do you know of any resources that would help with this?

You can look at the source code of an inbuilt animator.
Try a simple one, maybe CSceneNodeAnimatorFlyCircle
and don't worry about serializeAttributes and deserializeAttributes for your very first animator.

Basically, the animateNode(ISceneNode* node, u32 timeMs) is called every time smgr->drawAll() is called,
so just do what you need with the node in that function.

Time to go fishing in the source code then. Thanks for the info!
