## Detailed Description

The Scene Manager manages scene nodes, mesh recources, cameras and all the other stuff.

All Scene nodes can be created only here. There is a always growing list of scene nodes for lots of purposes: Indoor rendering scene nodes like the Octree (addOctreeSceneNode()) or the terrain renderer (addTerrainSceneNode()), different Camera scene nodes (addCameraSceneNode(), addCameraSceneNodeMaya()), scene nodes for Light (addLightSceneNode()), Billboards (addBillboardSceneNode()) and so on. A scene node is a node in the hierachical scene graph. Every scene node may have children, which are other scene nodes. Children move relative the their parents position. If the parent of a node is not visible, its children won't be visible, too. In this way, it is for example easily possible to attach a light to a moving car or to place a walking character on a moving platform on a moving ship. The SceneManager is also able to load 3d mesh files of different formats. Take a look at getMesh() to find out what formats are supported. If these formats are not enough, use addExternalMeshLoader() to add new formats to the engine.

Adds a billboard scene node to the scene graph.

A billboard is like a 3d sprite: A 2d element, which always looks to the camera. It is usually used for things like explosions, fire, lensflares and things like that.

Parameters:

  parent | Parent scene node of the billboard. Can be null. If the parent moves, the billboard will move too.
  size | Size of the billboard. This size is 2 dimensional because a billboard only has width and height.
  position | Position of the space relative to its parent where the billboard will be placed.
  id | An id of the node. This id can be used to identify the node.
  colorTop | The color of the vertices at the top of the billboard (default: white).
  colorBottom | The color of the vertices at the bottom of the billboard (default: white).

Returns:
  Pointer to the billboard if successful, otherwise NULL. This pointer should not be dropped. See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

|  | s32 | id = `-1`,
|  | bool | makeActive = `true`
| ) |  | `[pure virtual]`

Adds a camera scene node to the scene graph and sets it as active camera.

This camera does not react on user input like for example the one created with addCameraSceneNodeFPS(). If you want to move or animate it, use animators or the ISceneNode::setPosition(), ICameraSceneNode::setTarget() etc methods. By default, a camera's look at position (set with setTarget()) and its scene node rotation (set with setRotation()) are independent. If you want to be able to control the direction that the camera looks by using setRotation() then call ICameraSceneNode::bindTargetAndRotation(true) on it.

Parameters:

  position,: | Position of the space relative to its parent where the camera will be placed.
  lookat,: | Position where the camera will look at. Also known as target.
  parent,: | Parent scene node of the camera. Can be null. If the parent moves, the camera will move too.
  id,: | id of the camera. This id can be used to identify the camera.
  makeActive | Flag whether this camera should become the active one. Make sure you always have one active camera.

Returns:
  Pointer to interface to camera if successful, otherwise 0. This pointer should not be dropped. See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

Adds a camera scene node with an animator which provides mouse and keyboard control appropriate for first person shooters (FPS).

This FPS camera is intended to provide a demonstration of a camera that behaves like a typical First Person Shooter. It is useful for simple demos and prototyping but is not intended to provide a full solution for a production quality game. It binds the camera scene node rotation to the look-at target;

See also:
  ICameraSceneNode::bindTargetAndRotation(). With this camera, you look with the mouse, and move with cursor keys. If you want to change the key layout, you can specify your own keymap. For example to make the camera be controlled by the cursor keys AND the keys W,A,S, and D, do something like this:

               SKeyMap keyMap[8];
               keyMap[0].Action = EKA_MOVE_FORWARD;
               keyMap[0].KeyCode = KEY_UP;
               keyMap[1].Action = EKA_MOVE_FORWARD;
               keyMap[1].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_W;

               keyMap[2].Action = EKA_MOVE_BACKWARD;
               keyMap[2].KeyCode = KEY_DOWN;
               keyMap[3].Action = EKA_MOVE_BACKWARD;
               keyMap[3].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_S;

               keyMap[4].Action = EKA_STRAFE_LEFT;
               keyMap[4].KeyCode = KEY_LEFT;
               keyMap[5].Action = EKA_STRAFE_LEFT;
               keyMap[5].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_A;

               keyMap[6].Action = EKA_STRAFE_RIGHT;
               keyMap[6].KeyCode = KEY_RIGHT;
               keyMap[7].Action = EKA_STRAFE_RIGHT;
               keyMap[7].KeyCode = KEY_KEY_D;

              camera = sceneManager->addCameraSceneNodeFPS(0, 100, 500, -1, keyMap, 8);

Parameters:

  parent,: | Parent scene node of the camera. Can be null.
  rotateSpeed,: | Speed in degress with which the camera is rotated. This can be done only with the mouse.
  moveSpeed,: | Speed in units per millisecond with which the camera is moved. Movement is done with the cursor keys.
  id,: | id of the camera. This id can be used to identify the camera.
  keyMapArray,: | Optional pointer to an array of a keymap, specifying what keys should be used to move the camera. If this is null, the default keymap is used. You can define actions more then one time in the array, to bind multiple keys to the same action.
  keyMapSize,: | Amount of items in the keymap array.
  noVerticalMovement,: | Setting this to true makes the camera only move within a horizontal plane, and disables vertical movement as known from most ego shooters. Default is 'false', with which it is possible to fly around in space, if no gravity is there.
  jumpSpeed,: | Speed with which the camera is moved when jumping.
  invertMouse,: | Setting this to true makes the camera look up when the mouse is moved down and down when the mouse is moved up, the default is 'false' which means it will follow the movement of the mouse cursor.
  makeActive | Flag whether this camera should become the active one. Make sure you always have one active camera.

Returns:
  Pointer to the interface of the camera if successful, otherwise 0. This pointer should not be dropped. See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

This is a standard camera with an animator that provides mouse control similar to camera in the 3D Software Maya by Alias Wavefront. The camera does not react on setPosition anymore after applying this animator. Instead use setTarget, to fix the target the camera the camera hovers around. And setDistance to set the current distance from that target, i.e. the radius of the orbit the camera hovers on.

Parameters:

  parent,: | Parent scene node of the camera. Can be null.
  rotateSpeed,: | Rotation speed of the camera.
  zoomSpeed,: | Zoom speed of the camera.

| ) |  | `[pure virtual]`

Adds a Hill Plane mesh to the mesh pool.

The mesh is generated on the fly and looks like a plane with some hills on it. It is uses mostly for quick tests of the engine only. You can specify how many hills there should be on the plane and how high they should be. Also you must specify a name for the mesh, because the mesh is added to the mesh pool, and can be retrieved again using ISceneManager::getMesh() with the name as parameter.

Parameters:

  name,: | The name of this mesh which must be specified in order to be able to retrieve the mesh later with ISceneManager::getMesh().
  tileSize,: | Size of a tile of the mesh. (10.0f, 10.0f) would be a good value to start, for example.
  tileCount,: | Specifies how much tiles there will be. If you specifiy for example that a tile has the size (10.0f, 10.0f) and the tileCount is (10,10), than you get a field of 100 tiles which has the dimension 100.0fx100.0f.
  material,: | Material of the hill mesh.
  hillHeight,: | Height of the hills. If you specify a negative value you will get holes instead of hills. If the height is 0, no hills will be created.
  countHills,: | Amount of hills on the plane. There will be countHills.X hills along the X axis and countHills.Y along the Y axis. So in total there will be countHills.X * countHills.Y hills.
  textureRepeatCount,: | Defines how often the texture will be repeated in x and y direction. return Null if the creation failed. The reason could be that you specified some invalid parameters or that a mesh with that name already exists. If successful, a pointer to the mesh is returned. This pointer should not be dropped. See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

  texture,: | Texture for the terrain. Please note that this is not a hardware texture as usual (ITexture), but an IImage software texture. You can load this texture with IVideoDriver::createImageFromFile().
  heightmap,: | A grayscaled heightmap image. Like the texture, it can be created with IVideoDriver::createImageFromFile(). The amount of triangles created depends on the size of this texture, so use a small heightmap to increase rendering speed.
  stretchSize,: | Parameter defining how big a is pixel on the heightmap.
  maxHeight,: | Defines how high a white pixel on the heighmap is.
  defaultVertexBlockSize,: | Defines the initial dimension between vertices.

Returns:
  Null if the creation failed. The reason could be that you specified some invalid parameters, that a mesh with that name already exists, or that a texture could not be found. If successful, a pointer to the mesh is returned. This pointer should not be dropped. See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

Adds a terrain scene node to the scene graph.

This node implements is a simple terrain renderer which uses a technique known as geo mip mapping for reducing the detail of triangle blocks which are far away. The code for the TerrainSceneNode is based on the terrain renderer by Soconne and the GeoMipMapSceneNode developed by Spintz. They made their code available for Irrlicht and allowed it to be distributed under this licence. I only modified some parts. A lot of thanks go to them.

This scene node is capable of loading terrains and updating the indices at runtime to enable viewing very large terrains very quickly. It uses a CLOD (Continuous Level of Detail) algorithm which updates the indices for each patch based on a LOD (Level of Detail) which is determined based on a patch's distance from the camera.

The patch size of the terrain must always be a size of 2^N+1, i.e. 8+1(9), 16+1(17), etc. The MaxLOD available is directly dependent on the patch size of the terrain. LOD 0 contains all of the indices to draw all the triangles at the max detail for a patch. As each LOD goes up by 1 the step taken, in generating indices increases by -2^LOD, so for LOD 1, the step taken is 2, for LOD 2, the step taken is 4, LOD 3 - 8, etc. The step can be no larger than the size of the patch, so having a LOD of 8, with a patch size of 17, is asking the algoritm to generate indices every 2^8 ( 256 ) vertices, which is not possible with a patch size of 17. The maximum LOD for a patch size of 17 is 2^4 ( 16 ). So, with a MaxLOD of 5, you'll have LOD 0 ( full detail ), LOD 1 ( every 2 vertices ), LOD 2 ( every 4 vertices ), LOD 3 ( every 8 vertices ) and LOD 4 ( every 16 vertices ).

Parameters:

  heightMapFileName,: | The name of the file on disk, to read vertex data from. This should be a gray scale bitmap.
  parent,: | Parent of the scene node. Can be 0 if no parent.
  id,: | Id of the node. This id can be used to identify the scene node.
  position,: | The absolute position of this node.
  rotation,: | The absolute rotation of this node. ( NOT YET IMPLEMENTED )
  scale,: | The scale factor for the terrain. If you're using a heightmap of size 129x129 and would like your terrain to be 12900x12900 in game units, then use a scale factor of ( core::vector ( 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f ). If you use a Y scaling factor of 0.0f, then your terrain will be flat.
  vertexColor,: | The default color of all the vertices. If no texture is associated with the scene node, then all vertices will be this color. Defaults to white.
  maxLOD,: | The maximum LOD (level of detail) for the node. Only change if you know what you are doing, this might lead to strange behavior.
  patchSize,: | patch size of the terrain. Only change if you know what you are doing, this might lead to strange behavior.
  smoothFactor,: | The number of times the vertices are smoothed.
  addAlsoIfHeightmapEmpty,: | Add terrain node even with empty heightmap.

Returns:
  Pointer to the created scene node. Can be null if the terrain could not be created, for example because the heightmap could not be loaded. The returned pointer should not be dropped. See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

virtual ISceneNodeAnimatorCollisionResponse* irr::scene::ISceneManager::createCollisionResponseAnimator | ( | ITriangleSelector * | world,
|  | ISceneNode * | sceneNode,
|  | const core::vector3df & | ellipsoidRadius = `core::vector3df(30, 60, 30)`,
|  | const core::vector3df & | gravityPerSecond = `core::vector3df(0,-10.0f, 0)`,
|  | const core::vector3df & | ellipsoidTranslation = `core::vector3df(0, 0, 0)`,
|  | f32 | slidingValue = `0.0005f`
| ) |  | `[pure virtual]`

Creates a special scene node animator for doing automatic collision detection and response.

See ISceneNodeAnimatorCollisionResponse for details.

Parameters:

  world,: | Triangle selector holding all triangles of the world with which the scene node may collide. You can create a triangle selector with ISceneManager::createTriangleSelector();
  sceneNode,: | SceneNode which should be manipulated. After you added this animator to the scene node, the scene node will not be able to move through walls and is affected by gravity. If you need to teleport the scene node to a new position without it being effected by the collision geometry, then call sceneNode->setPosition(); then animator->setTargetNode(sceneNode);
  ellipsoidRadius,: | Radius of the ellipsoid with which collision detection and response is done. If you have got a scene node, and you are unsure about how big the radius should be, you could use the following code to determine it:
              const core::aabbox3d<f32>& box = yourSceneNode->getBoundingBox();
              core::vector3df radius = box.MaxEdge - box.getCenter();
  gravityPerSecond,: | Sets the gravity of the environment, as an acceleration in units per second per second. If your units are equivalent to metres, then core::vector3df(0,-10.0f,0) would give an approximately realistic gravity. You can disable gravity by setting it to core::vector3df(0,0,0).
  ellipsoidTranslation,: | By default, the ellipsoid for collision detection is created around the center of the scene node, which means that the ellipsoid surrounds it completely. If this is not what you want, you may specify a translation for the ellipsoid.
  slidingValue,: | DOCUMENTATION NEEDED.

Returns:
  The animator. Attach it to a scene node with ISceneNode::addAnimator() and the animator will cause it to do collision detection and response. If you no longer need the animator, you should call ISceneNodeAnimator::drop(). See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

  radiusEllipsoid,: | if radiusEllipsoid != 0 then radius2 froms a ellipsoid begin. Value is in multiples of a circle, i.e. 0.5 is half way around. (phase)

Returns:
  The animator. Attach it to a scene node with ISceneNode::addAnimator() and the animator will animate it. If you no longer need the animator, you should call ISceneNodeAnimator::drop(). See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

virtual ISceneNodeAnimator* irr::scene::ISceneManager::createFlyStraightAnimator | ( | const core::vector3df & | startPoint,

|  | bool | loop = `true`,
|  | bool | pingpong = `false`
| ) |  | `[pure virtual]`

Creates a follow spline animator.

The animator modifies the position of the attached scene node to make it follow a hermite spline. It uses a subset of hermite splines: either cardinal splines (tightness != 0.5) or catmull-rom-splines (tightness == 0.5). The animator moves from one control point to the next in 1/speed seconds. This code was sent in by Matthias Gall. If you no longer need the animator, you should call ISceneNodeAnimator::drop(). See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

virtual IMeshWriter* irr::scene::ISceneManager::createMeshWriter | ( | EMESH_WRITER_TYPE | type | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get a mesh writer implementation if available.

Note: You need to drop() the pointer after use again, see IReferenceCounted::drop() for details.

virtual IMetaTriangleSelector* irr::scene::ISceneManager::createMetaTriangleSelector | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Creates a meta triangle selector.

A meta triangle selector is nothing more than a collection of one or more triangle selectors providing together the interface of one triangle selector. In this way, collision tests can be done with different triangle soups in one pass.

Returns:
  The selector, or null if not successful. If you no longer need the selector, you should call ITriangleSelector::drop(). See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

virtual ISceneManager* irr::scene::ISceneManager::createNewSceneManager | ( | bool | cloneContent = `false` | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Creates a new scene manager.

This can be used to easily draw and/or store two independent scenes at the same time. The mesh cache will be shared between all existing scene managers, which means if you load a mesh in the original scene manager using for example getMesh(), the mesh will be available in all other scene managers too, without loading. The original/main scene manager will still be there and accessible via IrrlichtDevice::getSceneManager(). If you need input event in this new scene manager, for example for FPS cameras, you'll need to forward input to this manually: Just implement an IEventReceiver and call yourNewSceneManager->postEventFromUser(), and return true so that the original scene manager doesn't get the event. Otherwise, all input will go to the main scene manager automatically. If you no longer need the new scene manager, you should call ISceneManager::drop(). See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

virtual ITriangleSelector* irr::scene::ISceneManager::createOctreeTriangleSelector | ( | IMesh * | mesh,
|  | ISceneNode * | node,
|  | s32 | minimalPolysPerNode = `32`
| ) |  | `[pure virtual]`

Creates a Triangle Selector, optimized by an octree.

Triangle selectors can be used for doing collision detection. This triangle selector is optimized for huge amounts of triangle, it organizes them in an octree. Please note that the created triangle selector is not automaticly attached to the scene node. You will have to call ISceneNode::setTriangleSelector() for this. To create and attach a triangle selector is done like this:

            ITriangleSelector* s = sceneManager->createOctreeTriangleSelector(yourMesh,
                    yourSceneNode);
            yourSceneNode->setTriangleSelector(s);
            s->drop();

For more informations and examples on this, take a look at the collision tutorial in the SDK.

Parameters:

  mesh,: | Mesh of which the triangles are taken.
  node,: | Scene node of which visibility and transformation is used.
  minimalPolysPerNode,: | Specifies the minimal polygons contained a octree node. If a node gets less polys the this value, it will not be splitted into smaller nodes.

Returns:
  The selector, or null if not successful. If you no longer need the selector, you should call ITriangleSelector::drop(). See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

|  | ISceneNode * | node
| ) |  | `[pure virtual]`

Creates a simple ITriangleSelector, based on a mesh.

Triangle selectors can be used for doing collision detection. Don't use this selector for a huge amount of triangles like in Quake3 maps. Instead, use for example ISceneManager::createOctreeTriangleSelector(). Please note that the created triangle selector is not automaticly attached to the scene node. You will have to call ISceneNode::setTriangleSelector() for this. To create and attach a triangle selector is done like this:

            ITriangleSelector* s = sceneManager->createTriangleSelector(yourMesh,

            s->drop();

Parameters:

  mesh,: | Mesh of which the triangles are taken.
  node,: | Scene node of which visibility and transformation is used.

Returns:
  The selector, or null if not successful. If you no longer need the selector, you should call ITriangleSelector::drop(). See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

Parameters:

  node,: | Scene node of which the bounding box, visibility and transformation is used.

Returns:
  The selector, or null if not successful. If you no longer need the selector, you should call ITriangleSelector::drop(). See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

virtual IAnimatedMesh* irr::scene::ISceneManager::getMesh | ( | const io::path & | filename | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get pointer to an animateable mesh. Loads the file if not loaded already.

If you want to remove a loaded mesh from the cache again, use removeMesh(). Currently there are the following mesh formats supported:

Format | Description
3D Studio (.3ds) | Loader for 3D-Studio files which lots of 3D packages are able to export. Only static meshes are currently supported by this importer.
3D World Studio (.smf) | Loader for Leadwerks SMF mesh files, a simple mesh format containing static geometry for games. The proprietary .STF texture format is not supported yet. This loader was originally written by Joseph Ellis.
Bliz Basic B3D (.b3d) | Loader for blitz basic files, developed by Mark Sibly. This is the ideal animated mesh format for game characters as it is both rigidly defined and widely supported by modeling and animation software. As this format supports skeletal animations, an ISkinnedMesh will be returned by this importer.
Cartography shop 4 (.csm) | Cartography Shop is a modeling program for creating architecture and calculating lighting. Irrlicht can directly import .csm files thanks to the IrrCSM library created by Saurav Mohapatra which is now integrated directly in Irrlicht. If you are using this loader, please note that you'll have to set the path of the textures before loading .csm files. You can do this using SceneManager->getParameters()->setAttribute(scene::CSM_TEXTURE_PATH, "path/to/your/textures");
COLLADA (.dae, .xml) | COLLADA is an open Digital Asset Exchange Schema for the interactive 3D industry. There are exporters and importers for this format available for most of the big 3d packagesat http://collada.org. Irrlicht can import COLLADA files by using the ISceneManager::getMesh() method. COLLADA files need not contain only one single mesh but multiple meshes and a whole scene setup with lights, cameras and mesh instances, this loader can set up a scene as described by the COLLADA file instead of loading and returning one single mesh. By default, this loader behaves like the other loaders and does not create instances, but it can be switched into this mode by using SceneManager->getParameters()->setAttribute(COLLADA_CREATE_SCENE_INSTANCES, true); Created scene nodes will be named as the names of the nodes in the COLLADA file. The returned mesh is just a dummy object in this mode. Meshes included in the scene will be added into the scene manager with the following naming scheme: "path/to/file/file.dea#meshname". The loading of such meshes is logged. Currently, this loader is able to create meshes (made of only polygons), lights, and cameras. Materials and animations are currently not supported but this will change with future releases.
Delgine DeleD (.dmf) | DeleD (delgine.com) is a 3D editor and level-editor combined into one and is specifically designed for 3D game-development. With this loader, it is possible to directly load all geometry is as well as textures and lightmaps from .dmf files. To set texture and material paths, see scene::DMF_USE_MATERIALS_DIRS and scene::DMF_TEXTURE_PATH. It is also possible to flip the alpha texture by setting scene::DMF_FLIP_ALPHA_TEXTURES to true and to set the material transparent reference value by setting scene::DMF_ALPHA_CHANNEL_REF to a float between 0 and 1. The loader is based on Salvatore Russo's .dmf loader, I just changed some parts of it. Thanks to Salvatore for his work and for allowing me to use his code in Irrlicht and put it under Irrlicht's license. For newer and more enchanced versions of the loader, take a look at delgine.com.
DirectX (.x) | Platform independent importer (so not D3D-only) for .x files. Most 3D packages can export these natively and there are several tools for them available, e.g. the Maya exporter included in the DX SDK. .x files can include skeletal animations and Irrlicht is able to play and display them, users can manipulate the joints via the ISkinnedMesh interface. Currently, Irrlicht only supports uncompressed .x files.
Half-Life model (.mdl) | This loader opens Half-life 1 models, it was contributed by Fabio Concas and adapted by Thomas Alten.
Irrlicht Mesh (.irrMesh) | This is a static mesh format written in XML, native to Irrlicht and written by the irr mesh writer. This format is exported by the CopperCube engine's lightmapper.
LightWave (.lwo) | Native to NewTek's LightWave 3D, the LWO format is well known and supported by many exporters. This loader will import LWO2 models including lightmaps, bumpmaps and reflection textures.
Maya (.obj) | Most 3D software can create .obj files which contain static geometry without material data. The material files .mtl are also supported. This importer for Irrlicht can load them directly.
Milkshape (.ms3d) | .MS3D files contain models and sometimes skeletal animations from the Milkshape 3D modeling and animation software. Like the other skeletal mesh loaders, oints are exposed via the ISkinnedMesh animated mesh type.
My3D (.my3d) | .my3D is a flexible 3D file format. The My3DTools contains plug-ins to export .my3D files from several 3D packages. With this built-in importer, Irrlicht can read and display those files directly. This loader was written by Zhuck Dimitry who also created the whole My3DTools package. If you are using this loader, please note that you can set the path of the textures before loading .my3d files. You can do this using SceneManager->getParameters()->setAttribute(scene::MY3D_TEXTURE_PATH, "path/to/your/textures");
OCT (.oct) | The oct file format contains 3D geometry and lightmaps and can be loaded directly by Irrlicht. OCT files can be created by FSRad, Paul Nette's radiosity processor or exported from Blender using OCTTools which can be found in the exporters/OCTTools directory of the SDK. Thanks to Murphy McCauley for creating all this.
OGRE Meshes (.mesh) | Ogre .mesh files contain 3D data for the OGRE 3D engine. Irrlicht can read and display them directly with this importer. To define materials for the mesh, copy a .material file named like the corresponding .mesh file where the .mesh file is. (For example ogrehead.material for ogrehead.mesh). Thanks to Christian Stehno who wrote and contributed this loader.
Pulsar LMTools (.lmts) | LMTools is a set of tools (Windows & Linux) for creating lightmaps. Irrlicht can directly read .lmts files thanks to the importer created by Jonas Petersen. If you are using this loader, please note that you can set the path of the textures before loading .lmts files. You can do this using SceneManager->getParameters()->setAttribute(scene::LMTS_TEXTURE_PATH, "path/to/your/textures"); Notes for this version of the loader: It does not recognise/support user data in the *.lmts files. The TGAs generated by LMTools don't work in Irrlicht for some reason (the textures are upside down). Opening and resaving them in a graphics app will solve the problem.
Quake 3 levels (.bsp) | Quake 3 is a popular game by IDSoftware, and .pk3 files contain .bsp files and textures/lightmaps describing huge prelighted levels. Irrlicht can read .pk3 and .bsp files directly and thus render Quake 3 levels directly. Written by Nikolaus Gebhardt enhanced by Dean P. Macri with the curved surfaces feature.
Quake 2 models (.md2) | Quake 2 models are characters with morph target animation. Irrlicht can read, display and animate them directly with this importer.
Quake 3 models (.md3) | Quake 3 models are characters with morph target animation, they contain mount points for weapons and body parts and are typically made of several sections which are manually joined together.
Stanford Triangle (.ply) | Invented by Stanford University and known as the native format of the infamous "Stanford Bunny" model, this is a popular static mesh format used by 3D scanning hardware and software. This loader supports extremely large models in both ASCII and binary format, but only has rudimentary material support in the form of vertex colors and texture coordinates.
Stereolithography (.stl) | The STL format is used for rapid prototyping and computer-aided manufacturing, thus has no support for materials.

To load and display a mesh quickly, just do this:

      SceneManager->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(
            SceneManager->getMesh("yourmesh.3ds"));
