Hi,

TB Software presents the new version of 3DWin, the 3D file format
converter.
Beside several mesh processing features it offers full uv and material
support for various 3d file formats.
3DWinOGL is a new member of the 3DWin product line. It bases on the
3DWin engine and adds visual support 
during the conversion process with help of OpenGL.

3DWin's strength is the high stability of processing different file
formats.
"Quality not Quantity" is the motto of the software development when
commenting number of supported file formats.

3DWin is available at

The main program 3DWin is shareware, updates are currently free. The
main program 3DWin Ogl is currently free for registered 3DWin users.
The final will be also shareware.
