Hi, Justin Thanks for initial explanations, Step by step : 1) Does your application only need geometry ? For some simple 3D objects, yes. Hierarchical structure within a complex 3D object is desirable, but not mandatory. Material and Texture support is needed .
2) Does it need animations? No. The application will add animation behaviors as needed. 3)Do you want to support your own animation runtime engine or let someone else do it for you? I will build my own animation runtime engine.
