Sounds good for sure.
Interested?. Yes I do.
I would like to see something that converts .obj and .3ds (at least)
and outputs mesh2 with UV-mapping and creates a UDO object to use inside
Moray (for positioning it).
I know 3DWin do that, but I'm looking for a freeware application.
I've tried objuvpov, pose2pov, but none of them give me a UDO object I can
use.
Multiplatform it's a good for me 'cos I use Windows and Linux, and have
friends who use Mac and sure will find it very useful.
Anyway, I'm always interested in converters, and with povray 3.5 I think
it's
a must.
Thanks for your offering.
Waitin' to know further news about it.
