A file for use with the Moray modeller.

No.

If two or more vertex' have the same normal, the normal is written only 
once

You can see the combination normal_index + normal as a kind of array, 
the normal index points to the normal that has to be used for a vertex. 
The face_indices point to the three vertex_vectors to be used for a 
triangle.

3.5 supports the mesh and mesh2 format (the latter is the format you 
exported to).
