Could someone run throught getting a model into opengl after it has been converted to a .cpp file. What functions need to be called in drawGLscene.

Should have mentioned that the .3ds model was converted to .cpp using 3D Exploration.

once you have compilable code, you''ll notice that the code has a

GLint Gen3DObjectList(){}

this is the function that goes as the parameter to a call list call,

glCallList(Gen3DObjectList());

That should display it.

Thanks for the help.
I was also wondering how straightforward is it to move/rotate the model?

just use the standard gl transforms just like anything else

glloadidentity
gltransform
glrotate

glcallist

in some order like that.

Is there a complete tutorial on how to do this in VC++ 6.0 ?
I''m new to this but like to try it out!
