Hi all

I have an amimated human model in MD2, FBX, and X format.
Now I want to join a suitcase to one hand of the model.
The suitcase should follow the movment of the actor's hand.

I assume this is only possible with the X model.

Is it possible - and if yes how - to merge 2 ore more 3D models?

Any hint is welcome.

Thx, Nobby

Hi,

within the editor, this isn't possible. But Irrlicht has an API to attach scene nodes to certain joints of .MS3D and .X files. That's what you are looking for.

Nico thank you.

Do you know what name this API call has?

Yes, use

irr::scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode::getJointNode("yourJointName")

to get a scene node representing the joint, and then simply add your scene node as child to that joint.
