Hi....

Im beginner in opengl programing, and the question is:

What is the best way to load models constructed in 3d Studio Max in my program written in C, export to code c/c++ and compiling or with the 3ds loader...What is the diference?? http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/confused.gif

If you have a file loader you can easely adjust some stuff in the scene or model and load em in your program. With a compiler you need to re-compile your programm with the slightest adjustments or change in your scene.

I see...

And the performance in the execution whit a 3ds loader is appropriate for game engine ??

I need good performance in the render...

the preformance should be the same.. you arent going to load the object every frame do you http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif

and the data should probably be shuffled into VBO:s anyway.

Thanks a lot for your help.....

I going to use the lib3ds from sourceforge.net
what do you think about.....

Hello

I just finished (well just mesh, texture and materials) one using flexporter. If you want to check it out you can find it at http://emotion.sourceforge.net. I am planning on seperating this into a seperate library so everybody can use it.
