Hi!

I'm fairly new to 3D development and I'm working on an android application.

I am having issues using the load3DS method and I have been through the examples and the API and they are usually something like this:

rock = Loader.load3DS("example/rock.3ds", 15f)[0];

(This is straight out of the advanced example for loading)

However for my project I am getting:

The method load3DS(InputStream, float) in the type Loader is not applicable for the arguments (String, float)

Basically I believe it is interpreting my path as a String rather than an InputStream.

This is my code:
boatmod = Loader.load3DS("/HelloWorld-AE/res/drawable-xhdpi" , 12f)[0];
boatmod.translate(coordinates);

It may help to know that I am in a class outside of my main Activity.
 
Any help would be much appreciated!
