I couldn't use loaders for converting .3DS models to the java code. I have tried Load3DS.java and Show.java within a 3DS model which I have downloaded from web but I couldn't get the image to the screen. Is there anyone who has an example application that utilizes a .3DS model or is there any other software or tool to convert and make transformations upon a 3DS model easily in java environment? Suggestions about this subject will be appreciated.
Hi It sounds like your trying to convert the model into java3d code like you can convert them into opengl c code, and this approach is all wrong. In java3d you have a scene graph that you can load shapes and appearances into at runtime, rather than compile time. There are a number of loaders at j3d.org under the utilities section. Some of them come with example apps (AC3D and md2 loader come to mind), from looking at how those examples work you should be able to work out how to get the 3ds loader to work (I suspect there is javadoc in the package that will tell you anyway).
