Hi.
I wrote simple perl script, to convert a triangle mesh (or just a bunch
of points :) to df3 density file (i needed it for my IRTC entry :)
Script 'understands' a triangle notation, ex. 

triangle {
 <-0.119059, 0.441103, 0.259941>,
 <-0.132874, 0.442106, 0.254365>,
 <-0.138172, 0.442888, 0.256236>
}
(well, to be honest - it looks only for <float,float,float> :)

There's no command line options (except a name of input file) - you need
to modify script.

Script can create a df3 file containing :
 - points described as above
 - 'halos' around those points (fourteen additional points)
 - edges (treats every three poins as a face)
 - 'traces' (lines between closest poinst - maximum distance can be specified)

You can find this script at < http://steev.republika.pl/tri2df3.pl >
