"animation" may be a problem, but first things first:
copied from the doc of the Starfire-3ds-Loader from John Wright (works
perfectly for me)
Usage:
// setup a file name "fileName"
Scene theScene = null;
try {
Loader3DS loader = new Loader3DS();
// optional options to be used
// loader.setLogging(true); // turns on writing a log file
// loader.setDetail(7); // sets level of detail of report log
// loader.setTextureLightingOn(); // turns on texture modulate mode
// loader.setTexturePath("D:\MyTextures");
// optional alternate path to find texture files
// loader.noTextures(); // turns off loading of textures
theScene = loader.load(fileName);
}
catch(FileNotFoundException fnf) {
// Couldn't find the file you requested - deal with it!
}
// Use the scene as per Sun's documentation of SceneBase
BranchGroup shapeinfile = theScene.getSceneGroup();
You may want to fiddle with the textures to get mipmapping. Stripifing the
geometry for extra performance after the loading is also possible.
(Can someone please integrate these optimisations as options into the loader ?
I have got the code ready to use.... )
