OpenGL help

[zeltrax5]

Hey, I started learning C++ a few weeks ago and now know the basics of it. I recently started making 3D models (using Wings3D) for a game I want to make. I heard that openGL is needed to import the models, so I tried installing it, but none of the tutorials I found seemed to work. Can anyone tell me how to set OpenGL on my PC (windows xp)? and also do you really need to use OpenGL for this or does it just make it easier? will Wings3D work or do I have to use a different program? Please use simple language I'm only a beginner ;)

For importing a model you will need to create your own importer. Better use an easy to read model format. Ever heard of TRI format? Check out raydium.
You can export your model from win3d and then import it to blender. After that, you can export it to TRI format.
I did create a TRI format importer, you can use it for free. If Im not mistaken, my TRI importer size was just 20 KB

You dont have to, I already created it.

Here is the complete package, but you dont have to download it, you only need the importer,

You will need Donkeys Graphic library. http://www.quickersoft.com/donkey/

You mean the whole package? Well it was an example, and the code is messed up, because I had no time to arrange it. On the full package of my game engine it demonstrate a full game engine included physic engine and an animated model. What about the importer? Do you found difficulty?

I will rearange the code if I got time.
