Loading skeletons from files

Hi, all!
Is there any feature to load objects with their coordinates from any standart files? I want to load objects generated by 3DMax. It seems to me that feature like this is very useful. As I know this thing is implemented in DirectX (D3DCreateMeshFromFile function).

You have to write this yourself ... or borrow from others. OpenGL doesn't have the capability to load from file ... objects, textures, etc.
