import 3d models
Author
Hi all,
I been learning to make 3d models on 3D studio max. I was wondering how to import models into opengl and animate them.
I know how to define different parts of the models (arms, legs, hands, etc.)and animate them in 3d studio but how do I do that
in opengl??
thanks
u have to code it... there aint no support for model files in opegngl... you have to load them up urself and create ur own classes /functions to process the data and call the nessarary opengl commands...
there are a few tutorials on model loading... try NeXe I think they got tuts on model loading and skellital animation.

As mentioned, OpenGL is strictly for rendering. It ddoes not support loading of models. Either write your own code to load them (if you like the idea of working out the file format!) or use a library such as lib3ds.sf.net to do it for you.
I have a GDK that will load 3ds files but can only animate md2 files. I''m working on a newer version that does non-hierachy skeleton animations but I can only write the plugin for LightWave. I don''t own MAX

a simple solution is to use quake md2 format.
very simple to code the animation.
