Which loaders are available ?

Hello,

I presume this question has been discussed already a thousend times, but I just got from Java3D and would now like to try Xith3D / JOGL, and I am wondering which loaders are already available at this point and which ones will be added soon … ?

For JOGL, I only know of Quake Models … more finished ?
And for Xith3D there is ASE …

Would be very nice to have OBJ, 3DS, MS3D …

And which ones support animation.

Thanx for the help !

You can’t really have loaders for JOGL other than example code that you could work into your engine.

Xith3D has ASE, MD3 (non animating, but thats being worked on), MD2. I believe OBJ is also being worked on.

what do you mean, JOGL is something like OpenGL right, so if you port the Nehe and GameTutorial loader programs you can use them in your project right … ? So my question is, have these tutorials already been ported ?

I believe all the NeHe tutorials have now been ported. If you look down in this forum you should references to the collection.

Infact, here they are:
