Animated flag

[Klunk]

need to implement an animated vertex flag. found a pretty reasonable opengl demo which should be pretty easy to port over to irrlicht. The question I have is; which is the most effecient render method to use for animated verts, drawIndexedTriangleList() or a meshbuffer with a EHM_DYNAMIC/EHM_STREAM hardware mapping hint ? Or is there another more suitable method I should consider ?

Usually vertex/index buffers will be not slower, so you don't lose anything from rendering with the proper hardware mapping hint.

thanks Hybrid worked well, will post on code snippets if theres interest, here's a quick windoze demo the camera is maya, note: not all the stuff works in the inifile but stuff relating to the wind & flag does (though it's quite easy to break)
