   3ds into OpenGL
  How can I call a 3ds file from max into my OpenGL program in VB and/or C++??  
  try 3d exploration prog. it converts a lot of kind of file types (as asci, 3ds, x, etc...). also it gives you possibility to create whole! OGL (executable) code with your max model. very useful!or your can convert max model to asci format or 3ds and parse it manually.  ;  Where can I find 3d exploration prog? Also, I want to know if you can call a 3ds wirh OGL(OpenGL) code.  ;  OpenGl doesn''t have any native model formats, so you have to load all of your model files manually.  ;  explor3dhttp://www.xdsoft.com/explorer/
