What is the best way to load a stadium model?

Hello,



I have a stadium model in blender which consists of multiple objects ( or "meshes" I dont know the right word)

like left tribune, right tribune … and the pitch.



What I want to do in my program is to reach the pitch mesh and add goal posts to specific locations of it. I tried these:



1.) I exported my model to .obj and then rendered it. (I can also export to 3ds format.) The problem is:

ObjToJme or MaxToJme classes does not have any method to reach any specific geometry data (like the pitch mesh in my case). All the examples I have seen so far, just loads the binary data to specific JME classes like Node or Spatial.



2.) Then I managed to export my model as a collada model and successfully imported it by ColladaImporter. ColladaImporter hopefully has methods like getGeometry. But I will not continue with ColladaImporter because as I learned from other topics that Collada is not very well supported in JME. So I think I'll not continue with it.



Should I load every stadium object (like tribunes and the pitch) as a seperate model?



Or should I make the pitch as terrain?



Anyway what is the best solution to add a stadium model?



I guess MrCoder can help me as he has a hockey game!!



Thanks.

of course they don't, they're just Converter classes. When you have the Node loaded you can call:


node.getChild("russelCroweWithoutHead");



This is assuming that you named the various object in the .obj file correctly. That has been discussed in the forums, search for it  ;)
