Hi,
Thank Jan you for your reply. I think your idea is great so I went and tried
it out right away. I tried to load the file 3dsmax.mat (that comes with 3DS
max - I copied the file to C:\temp) using the following code:
Lib3dsFile* matLib=lib3ds_file_open("C:\\temp\\3dsmax.mat");
but matLib is NULL.
Has anyone tried doing this before? Have I done something wrong? Your
thoughts would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Adrian
