    I am attempting to make a model viewer, i have looked all around for a download that i can base it off, but found nothing

    if anyone here has the source code to a opengl or directx model viewer (as long as it aint X file, cause that wont help me much) please reply, or if you know where to find out.

    last but not least, is someone here has a X file converter can you please post the source code? I am really desperate here

    thank you

    There is a .3DS->.X File converter included with the
    DirectX 8 SDK.

    For the other thing, all you need to do is find out the file
    format for each file you want to view, use a loop to read
    the file into vertex structures, and use D3D to render
    them to the screen.

    Do you happen to know of a tutorial that convert more complex shapes and how to texture them?

    I've seen a program like 3D Studio MAX for DirectX, made in VB.
    The source code is available at http://www.planet-source-code.com , but I can't remember the name, sorry!
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:
