Actually, it is a 3dwin sort of question: 3dwin, or at least the version
that comes with Moray, converts files of sometypes into UDO/INC pairs, with
the INC being a file filled with smooth triangles. Trying, though, to use
RAW files for smooth triangles tends to fail, looking little better than
normal triangles. The problem with UDO/INC files is that it is completely
impossible to duplicate them. I have tried almost every approach.
