.ASE Format

Hi There...
I have a problem here
can vb use/import file .ASE format??
I export file 3d studio max to .ASE format, can it use on vb??
anybody can help me?? plzz, thx:confused:

You can, it is just a simple text format, so you can simply parse through it.

You will have to write code to render it to the screen and such, but the format is fairly simple to get the data out of. Once you have that, you can use DIrectX or OpenGL to do the rendering.

using what component / references z??

None, you have to write it yourself.

try Wotsit.org or FileSpecs.com for a description of the file type, you might even get some code

wotsit doesnt have it. Ive looked =).
