Detailed Description

The vtContentManager class keeps a list of 3d models, along with information about what they are and how they should be loaded. It consists of a set of Content Items (vtItem) which each represent a particular object, which in turn consist of Models (vtModel) which are a particular 3D geometry for that Item. An Item can have several Models which represent different levels of detail (LOD).

To load a set of content from a file, first create a vtContentManager object, then call ReadXML() with the name of name of a VT Content file (.vtco).
