Hello!

I’m trying to load 15 different 3D models in P5 and make them appear at specific time.  
Is there a way to load models with a “for loop” and place the models in an array? I’m a complete beginner 😕

Here’s what I’m trying to do:

```auto
let woman_frames = [];

function preload() {
for (let i = 1; i < 15; i++) {
  woman_frames[i] = 
    
  loadModel('woman_frames/'woman_framei[i].obj')
}
}

```

Thanks

```auto
  loadModel('woman_frames'+i+'.obj')

```

this should work when your file names are

woman\_frames0.obj  
woman\_frames1.obj

etc.

by the way, arrays usually start with 0 not with 1

Hey, and welcome to the forum!

Great to have you here!

Warm regards,
