FormatDescription
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. *
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. * 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 enhanced 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, joints * 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. *
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. * Notes for
this version of the loader:
* - It does not recognize/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.

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 algorithm 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 ). \param heightMapFileName: The name of the file on disk, to read vertex data from.
