I have finished writing a small obj loader in c++ together with OpenGL.
Now I only need to explain how it works

Header files are a way to hide the implementation aka abstraction. It also allows standards to be followed between cpp files.

I smell OpenGL fans

So uh, decided whether you're using OpenGL or DirectX yet?
*pulls out gun*

I think I'm going with DirectX

True, but if you still use a compiler that doesn't have support for #pragma you really need to upgrade :P

BTW my teacher puts his lectures on his website: myapp.nl. Some great tutorials on 3D programming

I just received the new assignment for this block :) We have to create a working rendering engine using one of the popular API’s, either DirectX or OpenGL together with the programmable shader pipeline. The requirements are: For a minimum grade of 6 Must demonstrate proper lighting effects for point...

Yes, I have. As I mentioned in the original post, I attempted to create my own by parsing the file but it failed. I think it failed somewhere near the actual putting together of the polygons(triangles). Yes it would help to have a tutorial. If I have some spare time tomorrow I might put together a ...

Your header guards aren't right... They should be like: #ifndef CLASS_NAME #define CLASS_NAME //class.... #endif The define shouldn't come after the class. This is actually nothing more than a matter of preference. You could put the #define smack in the middle of the class, as long as it's between ...

Have you checked Wikipedia?
The OBJ format isn't that hard to understand.

If you want I can make a small tutorial on how to easily load an .obj file.

Also, no source?

I think you need to install the latest DirectX version.

And I will not publish the source, yet....
I am working on my portfolio website and maybe I will put some source code up there.

Today the assignment is due.
I have all the basic requirements and a couple of extra's

You can download it here.

There is no animation blending as I didn't had enough time to do some proper research on it

Some new screenshots

That was quick :) I was just asking 'couse the terrain looked blocky, but now that I think about it the triangle placement shouldn't matter that much, however I think it would look smoother if the height of each vertex were calculated as bilinear (which I'm guessing it's not and that the height map...
