The other day I made a model of a face in a program called Anim8or. But now I want to load this model into my OGL app. Does anybody know how to go about doing this? Thanks No amount of genius can overcome a preoccupation with detail.

Have a look on wotsit.org or google for the file format specs

Having looked at anim8tor, it exports in 3ds format, I think there''s plenty of tutorials on loading those files into simple strctures for use in opengl

I concur, Lesson 36 by Brett Porter was constructed for precisely this.

If I had read the contents far enough I might actually have seen that Sorry for bothering you guys.

No, lesson 36 loads .ms3d, the native format of MilkShape3D...
But at Gametutorials they have tutorials on loading .3ds

Hi tudehopet

If you dont need the animation part of the file,export to 3ds
is a good way.An other possibility,is to use the export to C
file option.There''s a demo program on the site.If I remember well
it''s on the ressource page.

If you need the animation or just to learn,you can code your own
parser.The file format cant be found on wotsit since it''s never
been published.This is not a problem because it''s a text file.
Just open it in a text editor and you will understand most of it.

If something is not clear,search the forum. A lot of questions
have already been answered.Or post yourself.

Hope this helps
