Loading 3D model in iOS

Question

I'm creating a game application from scratch with xcode for iOS, and I've use the OpenGL Game projet template to create mine.

I've searched a lot in the past few days, but I can't find any tutorials or example as to how I would load 3D model (via .obj files) in my application. I've found some documentation on loading them onto an app with a console script, but I need to do it programmatically.

Any help would be very appreciated

Also, my 3D models are created using blender

Answer 1

The future will be here momentarily — SceneKit, available in OS X since v10.8, will be in iOS 8. It can build and render a scene with COLLADA (.DAE) models directly. No need for third-party tools or code, nothing complicated to learn.

Apple's documentation is pretty good but if you prefer then other tutorials are available.

OpensceneGraph has support for iOS and a lot of prebuilt code which can help you develop the game. It supports loading OBJ models.
