Let me see i understand this right - you parse the scene as usual but 
instead of rendering you generate an OpenGL scene from the parsed scene 
file, display it and allow to modify the camera?

First of all it would of course be important to what extent the OpenGL 
view resembles the parsed scene.  What shapes, light sources and cameras 
are aupported?  Does it support texturing of some sort?  How does it do CSG?

And the most important: How does the interactive view work?  Do you 
modify the camera data and use it when rendering afterwards or do you 
modify the scene file with the changed camera parameters?  Or do the 
changed camera parameters have to be inserted into the scene manually?
