Little questions made by a noob...

Hello everyone
I’m a beginner in OF, i’m actually learning some c++ to understand better this fabulous thing, and i’ve got some little questions ('cause i want to do a special 3D software). Someone told me, it’s better for 3D… (am i right?)

I know, maybe these are stupid questions, but, i’m architect. No one can help me in my school >.<

So my questions are:

Is there a “selectInput()” like processing in OF? To make a window for import 3D model.
And, what type of 3D models i can import in OF?

Is there anyone who have a “template” of a 3D software that i can use to make mine?

Thank to everyone that can help me ^^

Ho and, sorry for my english, i’m french (sorry for that too haha).

Hate to be this guy again but
checkout the 3DModelLoaderExample inside addons examples and the ADVANCED 3D EXAMPLE inside examples
also a couple of addons here: http://ofxaddons.com/
and search this forum to find more information in older topics!

You can also check out the documentation of the ofxAssimpModelLoader:
http://www.openframeworks.cc/documentation/ofxAssimpModelLoader/ofxAssimpModelLoader.html

It lists the supported file types and has a brief explanation of how to load a model.

Try using

  
  
ofFileDialogResult result = ofSystemLoadDialog( "Select 3D Model" );  
string path = result.getPath();  
cout << path << endl;
