Ok I have read bretts fantastic tutorial. Im a beginner and thought I''d like to import more then one. here is my main functions code so you can see where I have added/changed stuff **** at the top of file... int modCount; // used in reload textures loop for MS models int modTexCount; // used in initial tga loading loop const int totalTex = 4; // total textures for the scene const int totalMod = 2; // total milkshape models Model *pModel[totalMod] = NULL; // Holds The Model Data ************ ......other variables... *********** GLuint LoadGLTexture( const char *filename ) // Load Bitmaps And Convert To Textures { Texture modelTexture[totalMod]; for (modTexCount = 0; modTexCount <= totalMod-1; modTexCount++) { if ( !LoadTGA( &modelTexture[modTexCount], const_cast( filename ))) { return 0; } else { glGenTextures(1, &modelTexture[modTexCount].texID); // Create The Texture // Typical Texture Generation Using Data From The Bitmap glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, modelTexture[modTexCount].texID); glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 3, modelTexture[modTexCount].width, modelTexture[modTexCount].height, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, modelTexture[modTexCount].imageData); glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR); glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR); if (modelTexture[modTexCount].imageData) // If Texture Image Exists ( CHANGE ) { free(modelTexture[modTexCount].imageData); // Free The Texture Image Memory ( CHANGE ) } } } // return texture.texID; // Return The Status int Status=FALSE; // Status Indicator, use this variable to keep track of whether or not // we were able to load the bitmap and build a texture. // We set Status to FALSE (meaning nothing has been loaded or built) by default. AUX_RGBImageRec *TextureImage[totalTex]; // Create Storage Space For The Texture // The storage will hold the bitmap width, height, and data. memset(TextureImage,0,sizeof(void *)*totalTex); // clear image pointer, Set To NULL // Load The Bitmap, Check For Errors, If Bitmap''s Not Found Quit ************ ....then my bitmap loading routine, works fine with one model and any number of textures I wish to load independantly. ********** int InitGL(GLvoid) // All Setup For OpenGL Goes Here { for (modCount = 0; modCount <= totalMod-1; modTexCount++) { pModel[modCount]->reloadTextures(); } // reload each model ***********.... I believe this makes sense, go through each model in the array....GLDraw function.... ************* pModel[0]->draw(); glTranslatef(10.0f, 0.0f, -20.0f); pModel[1]->draw(); return TRUE; ************* notice I just tried two models two start with as a test.... and finally....... ************ for (modCount = 0; modCount <= totalMod-1; modTexCount++) { pModel[modCount] = new MilkshapeModel(); if ( pModel[modCount]->loadModelData( modelFilename[modCount] ) == false ) { MessageBox( NULL, "Couldn''t load the model data\\model.ms3d", "Error", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR ); return 0; // If model Didn''t Load Quit } } ********* which should make sense.... ok everything compiles fine except for one single error.... Compiling... main.cpp C:\Documents and Settings\Sir 666\My Documents\programming\opengl\simple scene\main.cpp(39) : error C2440: ''initializing'' : cannot convert from ''const int'' to ''class Model *[2]'' There are no conversions to array types, although there are conversions to references or pointers to arrays Error executing cl.exe. simple scene.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) ********* I kind of understand it but also I kind of dont anyone help?

Yeah I figured just pasting code at 12 am would not be smart.

Ok basically Ï am trying to do that as you say, but it crashes on the Model *pmodel[totalMod]; command.
I think I tried Model *pmodel = new Model[totalMod]; with the same result.

I just pasted all that code to show what modifications I did to bretts code to try and load more then one model.

Do you have a way I can invoke more then one instance of the class, Im kinda lost.
Its probably simple I know

I just want to realter his code, so it will load more then one model....how would you do it?

cheers
