Question about models...
Author
I am writing a simple 3d engine, just for fun. I already have a terrain made, and I have models from .3ds I would like to insert. Are their any converters for .3ds to whatever OpenGl format is? I''m kinda new at importing models from other things. I just usually draw them in Open Gl, but the quilaty is too bad, and too time consuming.
The 3ds format is pretty hard to load by scratch. Its not very well documented. 
Luckly, there are prebuilt libraries, you just have to search google.
Here''s a good one

go to Game Tutorials, click on tutorials, op OpenGL and it''s on page 3 or 4 or so. On page 5 there''s even a tut to show you how to animate them using keyframes.

Actually, you have to buy their CD to get the 3DS Animation Tutorial.

Unfortunately, it''s a lot harder than:
GLModel myModel;
glLoadModel(myModel, "soldier.3ds");
glRenderModel(myModel, 0);
Ah, but we can dream, can''t we? ^.~

It does actually. At the top of an OBJ file is this entry:
mtllib somefile.mtl
That file has the materials for the current object, including textures associated with the object.
