Hi there, I just made a wooden barrel in Blender, but when I export it to .OBJ and test it out in a render engine in a C++ application, you can see it’s hiding faces. It hides the front face of all those planks, wich make the model look like crap.
What should I do?
You could try to recalculate normals before exporting. Control+N or Shift+Control+N
Nope, that’s not working.
thats probably because your not exporting High Quality normals:
notice that amongst the options here I have checked Edges /> Triangulate as well,
just mentioning as its worth making sure. 
One Q though, why waste poly’s on modeling the inner detail of the barrel?
Going to test it later, ehhh I justed wanted a high detailed barrel model. But yeah now you see, noone’s going to see them, But anyway, If I delete them, it will just be a few faces, so it won’t matter…
Nope it’s not working, but after recalculating blender I get the same problems (hidden faces) even in object mode…
you could normal map it. 
even just specular maping can be a good effect though. 
That’s not what im talking about, this is a problem that needs to be fixed.
well, maybe its irrlicht which is reading the normal info in wrong.
