Hey I am new to this forum
i have been writring some small games and apps in java for 7 years
and i need some help with this 3d thing
I have been searching on this forum and elsewhere to load 3ds max models(but any other 3d filetype will do as long it loads textures with it) but i cant find something suitable
anyone knows the best loader out there? I would also would like to have it load the textures with it
I am currently using loader3ds which is loading the model but not the textures
Secondly i would like to be able to use the models in java
for example to let a men run while his legs move and so
If anyone has good tutorials/books for this as well as on jogl itself and texturing i would really appreciate this

thx alot

Check out this thread on the LWJGL forum: http://lwjgl.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=917 if you read to the end you will find that he has made some major steps forward with his loader!! ;D

Sorry, I dodn’t see this was the JOGL section! :stuck_out_tongue:

Have you looked at using a higher-level library like Xith3D? You should probably be using a scene graph of some kind if you don’t want to write everything from scratch, and from reading the Xith3D forum it looks like there has been a good amount of activity in the loaders for that library recently.

seem to have a modelloader whihc loads 3ds max + textures
from free game called JavaIsDoomed (found on sourceforge)
but get some compiling errors :stuck_out_tongue:

thx for the help anyway :slight_smile:
going to try to get this thing to work

#8

got the code to work
but it cant load textures with my 3ds max models
if i load wiithout textures no problem
but when i load with them i keep on getting nullpointer for my texturs
the file which holds it is correct and the path as well
maybe i should paste the code?
thx anyway
