What is the best format to use for 3D characters with the iPhone. I am looking to find free characters and did look at md2 (previous post), however there does not seem to be much free quality stuff about.
All I am after is to have a few normal 3D people walking around on my iPhone. I do have some animated 3ds / x animated characters. I am just trying to work out via what tools and format I should use for the iPhone.
Update:
Keeping this simple how do I get animated .x files or animated .3ds file on to the iPhone?
The md2 example seems like a dead end as can’t convert 3ds / .x animated files to md2 successfully with jpg textures .
The choice of the file format does not depend on the target plattform but on the capabilities provided by it, the amount of thrid party libraries you want to use or the effort you want to put in writing a custom file loader.
There is no such thing like the “best file format”.
