Thanks for the information, looking at the CONVERTERS section in the TODO
file and checking the current status of src/libgcv. It is obvious that the
work should be obj, stl, vrml. Some work has already started at the obj
part, the lex/yacc grammer/token is already there while stl and vrml exists
only as a skeleton directory. Unless using the asset import library is
planned in the immediate future, it seems working on obj, stl, vrml format
is a reasonable start.
Is there a SVN checkout of the test cases for the src/conv directory, where
can I find some small yet representative 3D files of various format?
Thanks
Margaret
