====== 3ds File import Proposal Document ======
This document will be the closing capture statement of the Concept Development Phase.  Requires customer approval.

===== Idea =====
This is an extension to the OpenGL Car project.  I created a car model and world using only openGL to make the models.  This is tedeous and time consuming.  There are a lot of points within a good model.  Creating each point by hand is not realistic.  So I started using 3ds Max to make the models and export them in the 3ds file format.  This will make displaying models in openGL a lot easier.

===== High Concept =====
Use 3ds max to create 3d models and load them into OpenGL.

===== Target Market Segment Strategy =====
For someone that doesn't want to hand create or mathmatically generate a 3d model.

===== Features =====
Quicker 3d model creation and use.  The 3d model will be more acurate and look better.  The loading of the 3d model will be quick and accurate.

===== Target Market =====
Anybody that wants to make games.

===== Target Hardware Platform =====
Pentium III with 512mb ram.

===== Estimated Schedule and Budget =====
I'm using a library off the internet so this should be a minimal amount of work.

===== Competitive Analysis =====
I'm creating this to learn about the ins and outs of game development.

===== The Team =====
Someone that knows C++ and MFC along with OpenGL and 3ds Max.

===== Risk Analysis =====
3ds may be an aging file format.

===== Summary =====
Creating a capability to import models will greatly increase the quality of the graphics of any game I may create.
