Hmmm 3ds. models?

Of course you can load 3ds files and render them with OpenGL.

This article should help you on your way [smile]

...?

Naturally you can load a 3d model into Opengl, though indirectly. 3d model formats contain data, which can be extracted from the file and used in OpenGL to render the model.

Where would you get the idea that Opengl can only be used for tilemaps?

Thank you very much! I got it because the person that told me to go with it said that was the only way so i was like well thats really stupid.... But thank you now that i know i can i am going to get my 3d artist crew set up and going. Thanks guys!
