When kids in https://old.reddit.com/r/opengl/ ask about a good starting project, I usually recommend making a glTF viewer. It’s good because it’s a scalable project that you can take as short or as far as you care to go. At a minimum, you can just get solid colored triangles on the screen in generally the right shape. But, if you find yourself having fun, you can end up building a full-featured scene renderer to rival https://google.github.io/filament/Filament.html

So we are finally past of OBJ file loaders? :)

I remember writing a few obj loaders in the 90s. Eventually I abandoned it for md2/md3 (but I don't remember why).

On another thread, people were wondering where all the hackers went.

Here's one, and it's a lot of fun! Can't wait to give this a try this weekend.
