how to create a world file

so there is no performance issue involved? (such as calculating triangles gives you higher FPS than calculating quads..etc?)

i think that there is a performance issue. New graphic cards are optimized to draw triangles....

Everything eventually gets to triangles anyway. Even if you tell OpenGL to draw a quad, it will do the manual transform itself to turn the quad into 2 triangles. Telling OpenGL to use quads is merely for your benefit so if you can pattern your thinking around the triangles you'll get a better understanding of what OpenGL is doing as it goes along and you see things you didnt expect.
Hard work USUALLY pays off in the future, but laziness ALWAYS pays off right now.

No need to get to involved in 3ds and stuff here save this to a .raw
Then open 3dsmax and import it as max script, with the stuff selected to export hit save
And yes its about the same format
