Including Wavefront Object in C++

[komplikaded]

I'm using Blender for at least a little bit of my project in order to
create an object. I export the object to a wavefront object, which is
basically a plain text file. Is there a way in OpenGL to include the
wavefront object?

There are more than one way to do that, 

- Use a library to load OBJ models dynamically at runtime, Quick googling resulted this one:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/objloader/

Most probably there are other implementation that does this in several languages.

- The other way is to convert the OBJ model to vertices in a C header file, but in this case you have to pre-convert the model before compiling your application. This might be helpful if you have limited models and you don't want to load arbitrary model at run time.

Here is a link to a script that does this.

Note that I haven't tested those specifically, so I cannot help if they didn't work as advertised.

I'm curious why you selected the OBJ format specifically?
