Hi,

Does anybody here know how to load a 3d model into an OpenGL application, no GLUT, using C/C++... I dont care if it's .3ds or .obj or whatever, as long as it works..

Thanks in advance...

Prepare some structures to receive your triangle and vertex information

something like this

typedef struct{
unsigned ver[3];
//insert texture coords, normals etc here
} tri_t;

typedef struct{
{
float pos[3];
} ver_t;

typedef struct{
unsigned numverts;
unsigned numtris;
ver_t *ver;
tri_t *tri;
} object_t;

then declare a struct of object_t type, load in a 3D object from the 3D modeller of your choice (you'll have to research the file format a little so you can extract the data you want), allocate memory for tris and vertices

(something like)

object.tri=malloc(sizeof(tri_t)*numtris);
object.ver=malloc(sizeof(ver_t)*numvers);

and load the data into your structures.

hope that helps

after loading the file, make sure you allocate memory for the tri
