What 3d model type you guys reccomend to use. Type should support animation. And should have some tutorials on all aspects(mesh loading,textures and aniamtion).

For DirectX, of course .x

For OpenGL, maybe .3DS, .ms3d, milkshape ascii, .obj, .md2, .md3, .md5, .fbx, .bsp.

I think the .MD2-5 files support animation the best.

Hi,

As a side note, .x can also be used for OpenGL.
See my article here: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/xfilepc/
