hi guys i am a newbie to the whole lwjgl and opengl thing but i have been assigned a project to come up with a 3d version of space invaders using lwjgl and opengl. i am really struggling at the minute and he is getting on my back about showing something! could someone please help me find some code that will load in a 3dsmax file or a milkshake file, 3dsmax preferably, well both actually so that i can load in a row of aliens so that i can then think about getting them to move. thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks to anyone who can help me ps i have read through nehe's tutorials but i am still struggling Danny :)

http://www.gametutorials.com has a demo for loading .3ds and one for animating .3ds

why no get it working in 2d first, then convert it


some simple textures and a ship, shooting , collision, ufo etc


How do you intend to do it in 3d? is it 2d with 3d models?


let me know may have an answer
