Hi,
I am using ObjectFile to load a file called "cube.obj" (this is a simple txt
file that has been created using notepad).  This file contains information
about the cube.  Is the following the correct format of the information
contained in such a file.

v 1.0 1.0 1.0
v -1.0 1.0 1.0
v -1.0 -1.0 1.0
v 1.0 -1.0 1.0
v 1.0 1.0 -1.0
v -1.0 1.0 -1.0
v -1.0 -1.0 -1.0
v 1.0 -1.0 -1.0

f 1 2 3 4
f 8 7 6 5
f 1 4 8 5
f 6 7 3 2
f 1 5 6 2
f 7 8 4 3

Is it ok just to pass "Cube.obj" as the filename, as shown in the example
code below, because when I run my program the file does not get loaded.

public ObjectLoader(String args[]) {
        if (args.length > 0) {

                        filename = args[0];
                        VirtualUniverse myUniverse = new VirtualUniverse();
                        Locale myLocale = new Locale(myUniverse);
                        myLocale.addBranchGraph(buildViewBranch(myCanvas3D));
                        myLocale.addBranchGraph(buildContentBranch(buildCube()));
                        setTitle("ObjectLoader");
                        setSize(400,400);
                        add("Center", myCanvas3D);
                        setVisible(true);
                }
        }

                public static void main (String[] args) {
                        String[] InputFile = {"cube.obj"};
                        ObjectLoader sw = new ObjectLoader(InputFile);

                }

P.S Do you know where I could get an example of program that reads in values
such as veticies, colour etc. from a text file to create a 3d object.

Thanks,
Grace
