Model loader Created 18 years ago2006-02-16 23:00:07 UTC by Captain P

Recently I've been working on a .ms3d loader, and after a day or two I can read vertexes and faces from .ms3d files now. That's fine for now as that's all I need for collision shapes, but there's more to come (mainly textures and animations).

Anyway, some shots of the results (rendered using some OpenGL tutorial code):Recognize the models? Yeah, polycount counts... (roughly 3000 model polys here, and all loaded within a second)

Just thought I'd keep you up to date a bit about what I'm doing now that I'm not so active with mapping anymore (well, HL mapping that is).

Heh, nice. Can't say I recongise the models though...

The same models appeared in this thread: Low-poly soldier model.

There's an building and flak APC in the greenshaded screenshot and I dug up an old truck model from a year ago or so.

EDIT: This is a better shot of the flak vehicle, as it doesn't really show up well in the greenshaded shot.

Excellent stuff!

Refresh my memory please, these are slated to be replacement models for an RTS game?

Nope, actually meant for a new RTS game, but merely for excercise though.

For this, they're simply test models, as I'm writing this model loader with a different idea in mind (not that it wouldn't be usefull for a RTS, but hey, everything at it's time).
