    OpenGL model types

    hello. Can you recomend me any good OpenGL models type? I would like a type wich would have good editors for that model type and it would be possible to use "skeletal animation" with it. I was thinking about Milkshape3D or 3DS...

    eeuh dunno. I only suggested a studio you could use (I don't use it myself). 3DS costs money, blender doesn't.

    .3ds format. Binary format.
    .x3d format. Xml format.

    According to wiki, 3ds has some shortcomings. Also, x3d is text format so it's easier parse in your code.
