How to enable shadows in irrlicht

[huntersh2014]

Hi


it seems 08.SpecialFX_vc9 is the only sample show how shadow works in irrlicht, but I noticed that that shadow is only for antimated nodes (because addShadowVolumeSceneNode() is a memeber function of CAnimatedMeshSceneNode class), my question is how to enable add shadow for other types of nodes, such as IMeshSceneNode?


Thanks!

You can use static meshes to make animated scene nodes. There is no overhead because the mesh has no animation, so you can create a IAnimatedMeshSceneNode from a IMesh and have the ability to project shadows the same.
