Black model

[psilobe]

Hi, I'm basicly trying out the first few tutorials with a couple of differences. I'm not using a fix model but creating one out of a bunch of volume data.

First I use this function to create a meshbuffer.

CDynamicMeshBuffer *newBuffer = new CDynamicMeshBuffer(EVT_STANDARD, EIT_32BIT);

Then I have a function which fills this one with stuff and then in my main loop execute the following.

SMesh* mesh;
mesh = new SMesh();
mesh->addMeshBuffer(newBuffer);

IMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addMeshSceneNode( mesh );
if (node)
{
node->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING, true);
}

The result is that I see the model but it's completely black, I do have a light source added and I've also tried disabling lightning.

Well, I don't see how you create it - do you set any colors?

I would also venture a guess is because you have no lights in the scene and you turned on the lighting flag.

He mentioned those, that's why I rather guess vertex-colors might be black.
