how to use md5 tools?

[biaib]

Hello,

I recently discovered libgdx and i'm planning on using it for some 3D game. I had a look at all the md5 related classes. I tried using them but failed ultimately. I searched but found absolutely no tutorial, demonstration or sample of code using it.

Is it usable already or is it planned for a future release ? Where can I get resources to get started with md5 importing and rendering ?


thanks already,

Rodolphe

You can use them at this point, there's a simple test in the test collection over in the SVN trunk. Dave wrote a complete game using it so it is indeed ready. However...

The 3D features are currently being reworked and scheduled for the 1.0 release. If that takes to long for you i suggest giving JPTC-AE or Min3D a look.

hth you Bojan.

I found the example you mentionned, here it is: http://code.google.com/p/libgdx/source/ ... 5Test.java

thanks for the help, I'll look at those libraries also.

Hi, I just found libgdx -- very cool stuff. I'm doing 3D games on Android, pretty nice

I got the md5 sample running on my phone with the zfat.md5mesh & walk1.md5anim files -- but where do I find the shaders? E.g.:
shader "models/monsters/zombie/fatty/fatty"

Thanks!

We don't support loading the shaders specified in the md5 files. We are currently working on a brand new 3D API for libgdx (extensions/model-loader, do not use it yet, it's a moving target as we are still changing the API). It will take a few more weeks till it's ready. Sorry, we are all a little stumped with real world work and do our best to get this out asap.
