faceted reflection

[AMAZINGAHMED]

hi there
i have a little problem that when i use the reflection material, the mesh becomes faceted. here is my code:

material_stainless.Texture1 = driver->getTexture("../../media/lake3.jpg");
material_stainless.Texture2 = driver->getTexture("../../media/galvplat.jpg");
material_stainless.Lighting = true;
material_stainless.MaterialType=EMT_REFLECTION_2_LAYER;
material_stainless.EmissiveColor=SColor(100,150,150,150);

i fount also this happens with any other MaterialType.
i get my model from 3dmax as a .3ds file and in max it looks smooth, so how can i smooth it in irrlicht? am i missing something here?
plz hlp
thnks

Irrlicht doesn't (currently 0.9) support smoothing groups for 3ds. 3ds meshes will always be flat shaded. Try another mesh format (x, obj, ...).

build a mesh with tangents it helps a bit

heres my game with ai look in the source to knoe how to build meshes with normals

i think it is by using this code


IAnimatedMesh* planem = smgr->getMesh("smallcube2.3ds");
IMesh* mesh = smgr->getMeshManipulator()->createMeshWithTangents( planem->getMesh(0));
