If I come across anything, I’ll let you know. > I saw a paper where someone discussed a path from BRL-CAD to XPatch -- > but looking back at it, it wasn't a built-in. I believe that process involved versions of FRED, a code written by TACOM that tried to facetize BRL-CAD models, and was almost as successful as our own exporters (i.e., not very). I think at the time (mid-late 90’s), everyone was just doing their own thing (unlike today, hah!). > I'll chase it down with AFRL -- I was hoping this was a quick & easy option. If you get ahold of anyone at AFRL, please let them know that I’ll help them upgrade XPatch to LIBRT. Serious offer. No conversion necessary, native NURBS support, faster ray tracing, support for IGES/STEP formats, … Cheers!
