hi.
as i have started a tiny bit to implement different model-loaders yesterday evening (it was late, so i didn't stopped anywhere usefule, but at least i started), and i do not want to double efforts i just want to ask, whether anyone has really implemented a loader for other models than .obj ? (jamie ??)
i am at the stage defining an abstract ModelLoader-class, child-classes would then implement various file-formats (OBJ & 3DS of course; and most likely MD2 and MD3, as there are plenty of examples for quake-file-loaders out there) -- so not much work has been done on my side yet (this is: i could stop, if a lot of work had been done already on someone else's side)

Franz Hildgen is working on an OSG (Open Scene Graph) loader.
Franz, please chime in with details!

...well, I do have some code for 3ds loading, but I haven't really incorporated it into the model_loader yet...it took a little while to get it correct on ppc, because there are several byteswapping's that ya need to do: if interested, i can forward that to you...after figuring it out, I got distracted :=)

...seems like a good idea: are you gonna try and tackle materials and stuff? They're just another object in 3ds, but I'm not sure how they would work in the gem scheme: maybe they should just somehow be created as a pix_image-based structure internal to the modelloader, then we could manipulate them?
ok, jamie
