Any guide to load a 3d model or to know how did it works?

[Rubiyooo]

Hello everyone. I´m noob in here. I´m a 3d modeler that use 3ds Max and i like to make low-polys models.

I´m making a game with graphics of 32 bits but now i would like to try to include any model in a PSX system.
It´s rare to find information about how the models of PSX worked. For that i´m here to find more information.

Regards and thanks in advance from Spain

Look at Lameguy64's work and take it from there

My tips for making TMD's:
Use as few tri's or quads as possible (PSX supports quads at hardware).
Use a good primitive(verts, tris, quads) 3d modeler... I use fragmo, it's okay and well suited to low poly

Maybe being paranoid, but I keep the verts on intergers (whole numbers, without decimals)
I export to DXF (txt) and check and change verts, then reimport back in.
I'm not sure how the TMD's are created but the TMD format uses u_long's for verts, the PSX has no FPU.

PSX is right handed, you can model Y+Up, instead of the PSX Y+ Down, you just rotate the PSX camera's X 180's degrees.

That's how I do it anyway.
