Does any here have just a basic source code on how you would load a simple .3ds file (also including it's textures)? I want to start with the basics, and would like like to study some source code that I can compile and play around to get a better understanding. I see a nuch of little code snippets, but as this is a beginer area, I was hopeing that someone might be nice and include a zip file to try. Would it help if I said PLEASE!!! No? How about a rating bribe. LOL

You can find a tutorial to do that here. The code isn't that difficult to understand, but you'll have to spend some time with it. It simply loads a .3ds file and renders it to an OpenGL window. It's also designed just to plug into your applications (for ease of use). If you get to looking at the code and get a little intimidated by all the pointers (there are a few), drop me a line. I've ported most of the code to C#, using no pointers (at least not visibly), and I'd be happy to let you see it.

Thank you very much, I will do that.
I did not think I was alone on that question.
