Cannot add texture to an Irrlicht node

Question

I am trying to add a bitmap texture to my custom scene node in Irrlicht. For that I followed one of their tutorials and ended up with this:

IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("mesh.3ds");
IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( mesh );
node->setMaterialTexture( 0, driver->getTexture("texture.bmp") );

But at the runtime, my node is totally black. In the console logs I can see that the image did load correctly.

What could possibly cause this?

Answer 1

Maybe you did not set any lighting thus the black output. Try making your node unlightable:

node->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING, false);
