Hey

does anyone know of a conversion utility that will take me from an Imagine
.iob file to a pov mesh? or to any more common format - DFX or OBJ etc
    - I had one quite a while ago (2 years?) and I seem to remember it being
a demo so after the 30 days I uninstalled it. and now of course its no-where
to be seen on the web.

also 3DWin has a 'coming soon' next to the Imagine format.

thanks
jim

Well, I have Imagine, so if it's not a huge mesh (I'm on dial-up), I could
convert it for you.

All the best,

Andy Cocker

Thanks, but it's a fairly hefty file and it dates back to Imagine 2 on my
Amiga 500 (free courtesy of Amiga Format Dec '93). I just downloaded the
Windows demo and the whole thing is pretty much as I remember it, but being
a demo it doesn't export files.

thanks again
jim

Deep Exploration from Right Hemisphere (www.righthemisphere.com) will read
in .iob files and will export to a number of formats; then use 3DWin to
convert to POV mesh. I believe that the demo is fully functional.
