Hello everyone.

I want to know if there is any where were I could find information about reading the .blend file into my own application , all I want to read is the mesh, armature, light, camera, texture, material, font and empty.

if this is for your own engine and your already using or planning to use the bullet physics engine,
then know that there’s a ‘readblend’ library included in bullets source! :wink:

Search for ‘readblend’ in bullet’s svn trunk

edit:
Also checking out erwins gamekit may be worthwhile:
