How do I export 3ds max objects to my c++ program

thunderBuns · 2008-02-27 15:32:41

Hi, I am writing a c++ program with opengl. I have created some objects in 3d studio max and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to export them so that I can use them in my program? Thanks

Exporting as a .3DS and using lib3ds is probably your best bet.

Small edit to fix the link E.P.

You just need to parse the file, I remember doing this before, there's not much to it. Gets a bit more complex with lighting normals and textures. But for getting the poly info then it's fine.

I think there's a tutorial on this over at http://nehe.gamedev.net
