I found a use for them. The Cassini model marked "detailed (to a fault)" in
Wavefront OBJ format converts well into mesh2 objects. The intended material
(aluminum, silver, gold, white, etc) is in the file and maps easily to
textures
in metals.inc. It looks really good! It just takes 10MB of mesh and 45sec of
parsing to use them.
