3d model loading
Author
hi, i am a newbie to lwjgl and im wondering how i can export a model from milkshake or 3ds max as i have both.i need to create a text file containing the vertices of the triangles so that i can load in the 3d model by using something similar to lesson 10 of nehe where he creates a 3d world using triangles.
thanx in advance to all who reply
ps is this the best way to load in models. what i'm doing is creating a space invaders game in 3d and i need to have several rows of the same 3d model, can anyone wiht experience of such things plz comment as to what is the best way to do this

Since you're doing this in openGL, i think display lists would be good to load multiple instances of the same object.
That said, i think you should load directly from the milkshape or gmax file instead of going thru a text file wich you really don't need. there's a couple of resources on the web with info on those file formats, i'm sure someone can give you a link, or you could google it :)
