Hi people,
I'm trying to figure the best way to create and load vertex arrays for
a 2D game. I suspect this is a solved problem, but I haven't found out
about the solution yet.
I tried Blender and Wings, both if which are passable, but each has a
medium steep learning curve, and complex useability, considering I
just want to create simple 2D data. However, they do both export
to .obj format, which seems suitable to my needs.
I haven't currently got any way to load .obj data, but it seems simple
enough to code one up in Python for myself.
I see previous discussions on this list in which people talk about
already having written (several) .obj file readers, but the links in
those posts are no longer working.
One potential downside of this is that I'm intending to render using
indexed arrays of GL_TRIANGLES, but Wings seems to export obj files
containing large convex faces consisting of many vertices. So might I
have to decompose the faces produced by Wings into triangles myself?
Is there a common preprocessor that I might use to help?
In contrast, I have found Inkscape a joy to use, but it doesn't export
as .obj. I could try and figure out how to load one of its other
export formats, or I could apparently code up an Inkscape export
plugin to write to an .obj file.
This is as far as I have got in my research. Anyone got any pointers?
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.
Jonathan
