Local material:SMaterial=SMaterial.Create()
material.setTexture(0,driver.getTexture("faerie2.bmp"))
material.setLighting(True)

Local node:IAnimatedMeshSceneNode
Local faerie:IAnimatedMesh = smgr.getMesh("faerie.md2")
node.setMaterial(0,material)

some other methods to look at are SMaterial.setMaterialType(), ISceneNode.getMaterial().  something to keep in mind is there are a lot of properties on SMaterial that are accessed directly.  in BMAX i had to convert those to get/set methods.

also check out the 11 and 10 Irrlicht examples.

I know this might be a little much to ask be is there any example to load models with 4 different textures onto a single model? I'm working on making a space strategy games and would really like to be able to have models in a folder as "ship.x" "Ship_tex.bmp", "ship_lights.bmp", "ship_spec.bmp", "Ship_normal.bmp", and would just load the model with all these applied. From what i understand i need shaders to do this but i haven't fully understood how. is anyone able to give me a working example of just a model with a specular map, normal map, self illumination Map (windows lights,engine glow, etc...), and a color map all applied to it? Or is it really not that easy to get a primitive example working?

Thanks,

Paul
