Oh dude....very cool!

There are some projects I partially abandoned due to lack of export-import
ability, and further lack of time to try to do it myself [specifically I needed
to be able to parse blobs into meshes].

What kind of times and file sizes are you getting? How high can you get the
resolution?

Does your macro support face subdivision?

I graciously welcome and eagerly await your first post of the .inc file!
