Looking for some other software to load wavefront obj files I've found some interesting thins on the gaming field: http://tfc.duke.free.fr/ How to load Quake, Quake 2 and Doom3 characters with OpenGL and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Doom3 How to setup Doom 3 on Ubuntu Linux

I was reading some papers at Universia , and I've found this one which references the Gmsh , a apparently simple mesh generator with an simple integrated CAD. It also has screencasts showing how to use it. Gmsh was is developed by the professor Christophe Geuzaine for academic uses. I didn't read much, but Gmsh is apparently scriptable and the CAD tool is realy simple to use. I was planning to develop something very similar. Another cool thing at the professor's site is the project GL2PS , which the main idea, on convert OpenGL rendering in PS, PDF and SVG, I was also thinking in. Professor Geyzaine had also written an finite element solver, the GetDP . I am planning to use them all on some grad school works. Another code on Finite Element Analysis is the SLFFEA , which stands for San Le's Free Finite Element Analysis, deserves note and is entierly written in Ansi C.

Dev-C++ didn't come with glut, and I'd tried without success to install directly from the original files. So, googling a little I've found this tutorial from Chad Drapper .

I was trying to compile the Dev-Cpp example of the nehe.gamedev.ne t Lesson 40 , and I was always ending up with: NeHeGL.o:NeHeGL.cpp: undefined reference to `ChoosePixelFormat@8' NeHeGL.o:NeHeGL.cpp: undefined reference to `SetPixelFormat@12' NeHeGL.o:NeHeGL.cpp: undefined reference to `SwapBuffers@4' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status *** [MinGW/Lesson40.exe] Error 1 I had spend hours thinking the problem was with my Dev-Cpp setup, but after googling onChoosePixelFormat, one of the functions on with I was having troubles, I found at msdn that this function is a gdi32 function, and the .dev file was missing this on the linker entry I have checked and my Dev-Cpp setup had the libgdi32.a in the same folder that I also had libopengl32.a and libglu32.a so, I made the assumption that this lib should also be linked during the compilation. I did some tests just adding the -lgdi32 on the command line compilation and SUCESS! So I was just needing to make Dev-Cpp also generates t...

I was googling around for some code to use on my next work for the visualization class at grad school, and I found this interesting code. http://www.geocities.com/harpin_floh/glglobe_page. html The web site says it could not compile on my machine, but it did! The code is not too much complex and this could be used in a variety of ways. Here is what I've got:
