OK, my last question on "model loading from scratch" went unanswered >

so Im going to split it up. Any answers on any of the questions please post. 1. What''s the best model format? 2. Where do I get an editor for this format? 3. How do I get the code for loading this model and displaying it? thanks for reading this, and more thanks if you''re going to reply

MD2., load md2 models is easy and includes animations.
Go to the Chumbalasoft web site ( don''t remember the url, but look for milkshape3d and you will find source code to load md2 files)

I agree, MD2 is a fairly easy format to use.
You can get the specs here: http://www.ugrad.cs.jhu.edu/~dansch/md2/

You could also check out www.wotsit.org for other 3d file formats such as 3DS.

can I just clear this up? I just need to export code, presumably from some command within milkshape 3d and then put it in the, DrawGLScene()?? or what?

i dont think its that easy. though with ed 3explorer u can generate a model as a display list which u can render like so glCallList(house) though this wont be to practical for animated models
