Where can find 3D-Mesh Models ?

Hi OpenGL fans,

i’ve just finished my first OpenGL-Viewer and tested it with a very simple object. But I need more 3d triangle-meshes of interesting objects.

Where can I find such objects ?
(I’m not looking for complex scenes, just for single but complex 3d-objects)

Thank you,

What format you want your mech to be stored in? Anyways, 3D Cafe got quite alot of free models in different formats.

Raw ascii or binary would be nice:
Triangle_1(Vertex_1, Vertex_2, Vertex_3)
Triangle_2(Vertex_1, Vertex_2, Vertex_3)

…and thank you for the great hint.

You loading .ASE, .3DS, .LWO, .COB, .OBJ, or anything else? What fileformat are you loading now? If you are using a custom fileformat, I don’t think there’s much hope finding something.

Yes it’s a custom format (the very simple one described in my previous mail). Ok let’s forget that custom format. There are a lot of polygon meshes for 3ds in .3ds format. But where can i find a description of the file format ?

YA

for Quake/Quake2/Quake3Arena/Half-Life/… one site : http://www.planetquake.com/polycount

Have a look at www.wotsit.org for descriptions.

Check out http://lib3ds.sourceforge.net/, it was very helpfull for me to load .3ds files.
