  • Adding an additional camera for extra features
  • Getting collision shape bounds from a static model
  • Adding basic shadows

Models usable and ready to deploy with LibGDX

We can import models in a few types of file such as Wavefront (OBJ), as we explained in the Exporting section of Chapter 4, Preparing Visuals, which is a basic kind of file type that may or may not contain everything we need ...
