virtual IAnimatedMesh* irr::scene::IMeshLoader::createMesh | ( | io::IReadFile * | file | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Creates/loads an animated mesh from the file.

Parameters:

  | file | File handler to load the file from.

Returns:
  Pointer to the created mesh. Returns 0 if loading failed. If you no longer need the mesh, you should call IAnimatedMesh::drop(). See IReferenceCounted::drop() for more information.

virtual bool irr::scene::IMeshLoader::isALoadableFileExtension | ( | const io::path & | filename | ) | const`[pure virtual]`

Returns true if the file might be loaded by this class.

This decision should be based on the file extension (e.g. ".cob") only.
