I don't think so, you don't read Mesh2 just Mesh.  That is why the need 
for Crossroads.  It can read .obj and output Mesh.

I think it is originally a Alias/Wavefront format. I actually wondered 
if Mesh2 was modelled after .obj in part.  The prob with .obj is that it 
comes in a couple of flavors I think.  Something about different line 
endings, newline or carriage return.  Since I first tried mesh modelling 
in a Maya course it was the format I got used to and have confidence in. 
  But it is really a matter of which button to push. Personally I like 
to produce mesh models with Wings3D which exports in a number of formats.
Anyway, as I said there is a way to manage the situation.  Support for 
.obj or other commom mesh format would give your app more of a 
one-stop-shopping place in the workflow.  But the reward would have to 
come from the doing I expect.

Btw my present endeavor is trying to apply hair to a mesh such that the 
direction it lies in can be controlled more closely.  Have you ever 
applied youself to that problem?
