importing lwo in opengl
Author
i want to make a function that can read the points and surface from a .lwo(lightwave) but i don''t know what is a IEEE floating point number.
who can help me?
the example are :
00000000 3f800000 00000000 0.0, 1.0, 0.0 point 0
40200000 3f800000 00000000 2.5, 1.0, 0.0 point 1
40200000 bf800000 00000000 2.5, -1.0, 0.0 point 2
00000000 bf800000 00000000 0.0, -1.0, 0.0 point 3
c0000000 00000000 00000000 -2.0, 0.0, 0.0 point 4
each 12byte is a point
Just use fread() to read them into a float, and then swap the byte order (depending on your platform). I have a quick n dirty LWO loader if you want some pre-written, uncommented, source code

I HAVE AN ATHLON AND I''M UNDER WIN2000 AND WIN98.
I THINK I''LL WORKS UNDER WIN2000.
IF I HAVE UNDERSTAND WELL I HAVE ONLY TO READ THE FILE IN A FLOAT AND BYTESWAP IT AND THE INFO WILL BE OK.
FOR THE PROGRAM IS OK BUT I WOULD UNDERSTAND HOW TO READ(WITH MY MIND)FLOAT NUMBER IN HEX OR BINARY.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN ME THE TECHNIQUE?
AND CAN YOU SEND ME THE SOURCE FOR VIEWING IT
