What I have is some code that I have got from trying to reverse engineer model loading code, because all the instructions that I have seen show how to transform the vertex positions in the shader and adapt the code to that. At first, I didn't know how I would store the information that needs to be loaded in because there are a few ways to do it. I finally just store bone IDs with their weights and pushed a vector for each mesh. The reason why I am writing code like this is that I want vertex positions from my model while I am animating it. This is something that I need for, some physics that I want to apply. I am not sure I got everything right because I am looking at OpenGL and using DirectX and some of the functions, I need I do not know what they are called. Here is my code.
