3DS file loading in java for school project.

[Rocket_Guns]

Heh, hey people!

in short, i totally had it :P we tried a lot of things here on school. we want to get 3DS files into java. but since it is not something we HAVE to do we don't get any help with it. *cries*

we got java3d on the school computer. we also have ability of using 3ds max 6. we know how to make things in java and in 3ds max. we use JCreator for java.

our problem now is that we have found some loaders, but they or dont work or we dont understand them. Now best and probably least chance for us on getting is a good working example of a 3DS file loaded in java....which hopefully include all the lights and mapping.

so maybe somebody has a nice example or tutorial out of own experience, or even better use my file for it:

here's an example of a 3ds max file that would be great to have in java. its just a simple object, with a light and some map on it.

cheers,

A quick Google for "3DS Java" revealed that? Let us know.

thanks for your reply.

i know about j3d.org. i know about the loaders they have there. we really tried most stuff but either did something wrong or the package didnt supports our files. also the program milkshape that they are advicing on the link u gave costs money, we can't do that since its just for school. so we are wondering if there are any other options?
