A question about MD2 loader in D3D

The way I'd do it is to create a static index buffer and a dynamic vertex buffer. Each frame, you can update the dynamic vertex buffer with the vertices based on the animation frame you're on, and then rendering the model is just a case of rendering a single triangle list.
You could use an ID3DXMesh, but I don't think you'd gain anything from using it.

thank you ! I'm a beginner so it looks diffault to write a d3d loader after opengl turial. so i'll go on.

sorry,I just think it's appropriate to post DirectX Forums..
