From the frontpage: "The Irrlicht Engine is an open source high performance realtime 3D engine written and usable in C++ and also available for .NET languages. It is completely cross-platform, using D3D, OpenGL and its own software renderer [...]"

It's all up to you which one to use...

Then how will I specify directx8 render API.
I'm trying but not getting it ,Instead when I'm trying OPENGL render API.;
My game is running fine.
What should I do?.

You select what API to use in the createDevice() call (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/na ... .html#a177). DirectX 8 and DirectX 9 doesn't work by default in Dev-C++ though, so you'll have to recompile the engine (have a look at http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... php?t=1700). Good luck!
