Great stuff, well done!

Reminds me of my own experiments I did for my bachelor's thesis. You can speed this up a lot by updating the particles in a geometry shader.

I mean you also use an exception or a success / error code parameter...

Use a library, it's not worth the hassle. Object files are also pretty limited and you will find yourself implementing import code for several formats.

I know that libgdx uses this import library: http://www.assimp.org/

Welcome to the world of 3D graphics programming

What are your triangle coordinates? What is your camera position?

Near and far should be positive values.

Well now I'm completely confused. Been trying to make it work, but ever since I changed one number around it has been acting odd. If I decide it does need to be in a different order, should I also transpose with the uniform function? The matrix that stands closest to your input vertex in the multip...

I have to do this EVERYTIME I'm setting up some matrices because my brain is just not able to visualize all this shit at once.

It's great to see how passionate you are about this :) Take one step back and ask yourself what you actually want to DO . Then go ahead and DO IT . Everytime you encounter a problem you come back here and ask us for advice, search on the internet or try to find advice in a book. This is the only way...

That is hilarious in a horrible way.

The two ways you describe should work, just use one of them. I don't know of more options off the top of my head.

Dan is Jonathan Blow in disguise confirmed!

Sounds like I should give it a try

You can give your shader some uniforms that define which part of the texture to use and use them to calculate the value of gl_TexCoord[0] in your shader. Manipulating the texture matrix is also possible but I find the uniform approach more straight-forward. Edit: for newer OpenGL versions use your o...

Nice stuff
