I am quite new to the 3D-part of rendering. I was wondering what'd be the best way to load and display animated models on the screen. Searching the Net, I found a lot of people recommending to write a custom file format for the models and the animations.
This seems like a pretty complicated task, and I was hoping if there were any documentation available on the subject. I didn't manage to find any myself. Furthermore, I was wondering if it would be better practise exporting to my custom file format from an intermediate file format, like FBX, or write a Maya or Blender exporter.
If anyone could help me out with these questions, that'd be awesome.
Thanks in advance!
