hi,
I would like to know how to import a 3D model into my application (rendering) using lib3ds import library.please give ur views.
regards,
deepha.
but the fact that this is not directly opengl related, this topic has been treated several up to many times here. Make a search then:
http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/cgi_directory/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=search;search_forum=2
And have a look at the lib3ds website too.
http://lib3ds.sourceforge.net/
Also check google for what you’re looking for.
my 3ds class:

Hi
thanks for ur reply Mr.Hylke Donker .I downloaded ur code and complied .It’s giving error while including string and vector headers. how to proceed further.kindly guide me.
Don’t use those headers of course:
#include "qt_headers.h"
#include "cpp_headers.h"
#include "other_headers.h"
#include "extern_vars.h"
#include "logfile.h"
But use those you need depending on your language (C or C++) and whether you use glut or everything else for your window.

Dear Deepha
I use from the NeHe’s code to load the MS3D models. After many researches in the net, i understood that the definition of the MS3D files are very well defined.Please take a look at lesson 35 of the NeHe tutorials: NeHe.gamedev.net
In the other hand, if you want to manage the animation of your characters, i think that cal 3d is one of the best choices for you. you can download it at: http://cal3d.sourceforge.net/
I have used from this API in my win32 applications. Although is a greate API, but you can only use from this API to animate the objects that have a skeleton. So its not a good way to load your static objects with CAL3D.

how to eliminate the errors.please help
hi,
I found that i have to include the qt library headers in my code. i downloaded the qt 3.3.3.tar.bz2( i am using cygwin platform) from net.
let me know how to unzip the qt library.

You downloaded the linux version of qt, download the windows free version (only for making free projects) at this address:
http://www.trolltech.com/download/qt/windows.html
Please note that QT is no more a real free library but if you also make free projects. I advise you not to use qt and choose other libraries for managing windows, images and so on.
