[PyOpenGL-Users] Importing 3D Models into Python

[Y S <yur...@ho...>]

Hello,

I am a long time programmer, but just recently started working with 
PyOpenGL. I am designing an isometric 3D (true rendered 3D) game. I ran into 
a road block and would like some suggestions. I need to import 3D models 
from files and render them. I have had very limited success. I did some 
research and found several utilities. A small 3DS loader, but I do not 
really want to use 3DS files as I am not a huge fan of 3D Studio Max. In 
addition, I had trouble getting it to work. I also found PyCal3D, but 
apparently that's been dead for a while. I managed to grab a copy of the 
source from archive.org, but I would prefer to use something that is still 
being developed or completed, rather than dead in early alpha.

If anyone has any suggestions about a good way to import 3D models to use in 
Python with PyOpenGL, I would appreciate the feedback. Thank you.

P.S. Is PyCal3D really dead? If so, why? I did an extensive search, but 
found nothing.
