Handle `Irrlicht` limitation on the number of vertices rendered #1137

Closed mebbaid closed 8 months ago

mebbaid commented 9 months ago

Some models with particularly "dense" meshes in terms of number of vertices computed throw the following error when calling the idyntree-yarp-visualizer -m model.urdf

Too many vertices for 16bit index type, render artifacts may occur

This can be traced to this line https://github.com/zaki/irrlicht/blob/97472da9c22ae4a49dfcefb9da5156601fa6a82a/source/Irrlicht/CNullDriver.cpp#L808 upstream

This may lead to rendering models with missing parts/meshes.
