has anyone tried art of illusion? how compatible is it with jogl? will i need a loader for my models?
I tried art of illusion a long time ago, it was well impressive. Pure java at the time…
As far as I know there are no loaders, but AOI supports a really amazing plugin system…
I wrote an AC3D loader/saver for it at the time in about a day.
Jogl however, has no scene graph, and hence there is no structure for loaders to “load” into. You might consider looking at Xith3D and writing a loader for that…

I wouldn’t write a loader for native AOI - Format at this time because AFAIK this format is subject to a lot of changes as development goes on.
Instead writing Exporters for AOI would be the way to go IMHO. But before doing so i suggest contacting the AOI - forums on SF.net.
