Download .obj using JOGL

Question

I can find obj download tutorials, but nothing about how to download it and use it with java, who has links to any useful lessons?

Answer 1

The closest I could find was:

• JOGL-ES Chapter 2 - Downloading OBJ Models
• Obj file format
• Renderer Independent OBJ Loader

Keep in mind that JOGL is a very low-level API. Some of the higher-level APIs (JMonkeyEngine and Java3D) have sophisticated APIs built-in to deal with such things. With JOGL, you yourself will do most of the work. Obviously, there are advantages and disadvantages to each approach.

Answer 2

Not a tutorial, but what about some sample code? Unfortunately, it uses the "Fixed Function Pipeline", and does not use the new "do everything with shaders" approach, but I like to think that the code is clear.

In addition, I should note that it uses VBOs, not direct rendering or list display, so it is quite efficient.
