Hey Guys ,

I was wondering if miniB3D can read .B3d , or all the other files that Blitz 3d can read.

miniB3D reads .b3d files. The other Blitz3D model formats aren't supported by Simon's default version.

OBJ works well but it is an add-on in the code archives. Let me know if you need it.

There is also a 3DS importer floating around.

There are a few modules in prime.mod that handle loading of 3D file formats.

I wrote them for use in my library, MaxB3D but have kept them separated for this type of situation.

Prime.lib3DS for .3ds models.
Prime.libMS3D for Milkshape 3D files (text-only).
Prime.libPLY for .ply files.
Prime.libX for DirectX files. Note, it currently will only handle binary encoded files and only loads the mesh geometry.

Note that none of these currently handle animation.

Take a look at the various loader modules of MaxB3D to see how they are used.

Also, as a note, all of these modules are licensed under MIT so no need to worry about licensing constraints.
