People who use OpenGL, use these formats as starting formats, because these are really simple (for example, *.OBJ is plain text) to read, really easy to export to, and to find over the net free models in these formats. Like in DirectX, *.X is commonly used by novice users, because the SDK comes with an "out of the box" *.X file class. And yes, You are right about the custom format, but custom formats not the way to starting with model formats, but next-next step. If you know what/how to export as custom format, you dont ask question like above. | |

How did you verify that anyway? I'd say most common are custom formats, since they should be pretty optimized for the game(-engine) | |
