Have you tried my MS3D loading tutorial on NeHe''s site? Its Game Programming tutorial #4, and it goes over loading MS3D, and MD2 (Quake 2 model format) files. Give it a look-see, it could be what you''re looking for.

I just did, and that md2 code is JUST what i was looking for. very very good, and easy to use code, even for a newbie like me

I have a couple of questions however, I had a friend make me a simple model, it has no animation frames. I replaced the hobgoblin model with it, and loaded it into my scene. it works fine, for a moment, then it corrupts horribly, im guessing this is because teh code is trying to move on to frames that arent there, my question is this (i am a newbie so please bear with me

) How do i go about loading very simple md2 files with no animation?(using your code) what do i need to add or rip out? or if its a model thing, what frames do i need to add?
Thanks again.

Scratch that, i fixed it with the ratio value

I have another question, can i use gltranslatef to position the model? basically so i can add more than one model.
thnx again
