loaders question

Where are the latest version of the loaders?? I have two (obj and 3ds) I got from newdawn. I dont see any in the cvs archive xith-tk.

To the author of the loaders:

I would like to be able to find/modify the materials/textures assoicted with say an OBJ. Is there an existing approach to retreiving the texture(s) assoicated with an OBJ?? I jest don’t see it at the moment although i am uncertain I have the latest versions. I can add the capability myself but don’t want to get oput of sync with your stuff.

In my Java3D past I’ve nearly always implemented “NodeFactory” with the loaders. This means as the nodes are being loaded they are (optionally) passed through a factory that you provide. This gives you control as the objects are actually constructed but I’m not sure this is quite what you want.

I could add this to the OBJ loader. However, at the moment I’m not happy to continue developing the 3DS loader since it was intended as a stop gap measure and is now taking more and more time up (and especially since I’m not even using it).
