3d model and vertex arrays
Author
Hello all from Greece. Come for vacations , it''s really nice!
I have download 3DWin converter and I have convert a 3ds file to opengl format. There is an array with vertices and an array with face indices like this
{0,1,2,3,4,5,6
2,1,3,7,8,9,10,
.....
... etc.}
This means that the model is built by polygons of 6 sides?
How am I going to render such an object ?
Thank you!
yo... I''ll come to Greece but in September, hope there''s still gonna be hot...
did you try plaing around with ascii files from 3dstudio ... they are really easy to handle... you can write your own converter to fit your needs like vertices grouped in 3s ( faces )
or all vertices in a list and then list of verts that create faces
or you can add mapping
or whatever you need...
ofcourse to figure out a good format is a hard work and surely there are lots of them that contain all the good features ( like mapping, normals, material and so on) but you not always need all of them ....
i actually don''t understand what i''ve just wrote
