How do you load a 3D model using SharpDX

[grimreeper132]

I am currently trying to learn how to use SharpDX and I am having issues on working out how to load 3D models into this, how do you do this??? Thanks

(I'm using C#)

I haven't used sharpDX but with any rendering API you will need to store the vertex data in a vertex buffer. So essentially you need to declare your buffer usage and the structure of the buffer and then load the buffer with your vertex data that you parse from your 3D model file.

 

From there it is making sure the input assembler knows how to use the data. Then developing your shaders and rendering to your render target amd presenting it to the screen.

Which format you are trying to load. Each has to be coded separately. The whole process is quite simple.

step 1 : load the file in memory

step 2 : read the format and load up the brep/triangles

step 3 : if it support textures, load up textures and texture coordinates

step 4 : redraw the scene in a loop by drawing your triangles.
