I wanna make a model viewer similar to the HALF LIFE MODEL VIEWER for a game called Rogue Spear. Anyone have some tips/pointers/code examples? I work with VB, and some C++ (still learning) THanks

Hmm I've heard alot about this site I don't know if this would have exactly what you are looking for you might try this site but I don't think they would have anything about 3d file formats, I hope that you can figure out what you are trying to do!

Found the source to a model viewer for quake2 md2''s a while back. It might give you some ideas, but you do really need to know c++ and OpenGL to understand it.

It''s here

This is all the info you need.

Mete Ciragan (creator of the wonderful modeler MilkShape has posted the source code for both a Half-Life and Quake II model viewer. I found his source code to be INVALUABLE when I was working on parsing the MD2 file format.

C=64

I have the file format, just no program. I do VB and some C++. Any other suggestions?
