first, soory about all this questions - but I bigginer and I must understand some things. when programming with opengl - is there 3d model file format which is better then the others - if not with the quality(which is probably not) then the speed that its loaded the models. I alreday have programs in opengl that reads 3ds and raw file formats - is there a free program out there that convert betwean some others file formats (like tga) to those tow. thanks alot.

Yes there are, you just have to find them.

the best format is probobly one you create yourself, it contains all you need because you put it there.

There's not a best 3d file format. It depends what you need. Most games use their own file formats and modells are exported from professional modelling programs (e.g. 3DS Max, Lightwave) using custom scripts.
Deep Exploration is a very good tool that handles many file formats. It even exports modells as C-Code.
