If you make a search on loaders on the e-mail archive I'm
sure you will find plenty users of loaders. There is a
special WEB page for loaders:
http://www.billday.com/Java3DArchive/index.html
I don't believe the loader archive is totally up to date ???

Subject: [JAVA3D] Java3d Compatable Tool 3d Output formats
I am currently curious as to whether anyone is successfully converting from
any of the popular 3d rendering applications currently available to Java3d?
I noticed in the latest edition of "The Java 3D API Specification" (2nd
Edition - Sowizral, Rushforth & Deering - ISBN:0-201-71041-2) that the
Lightwave demo will import Lightwave 3D format 3d scene files (albeit with
extremely limited functionality). Has anyone actually tried using this?
I also discovered that NSCA has some programs for loading files from the
following programs (see
http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/~srp/Java3D/portfolio/index.html for more details):
NCSA's 3D Studio (3DS) loader
NCSA's AutoCAD DXF loader (Version 12)
NCSA's Protein Data Bank (PDB) loader
NCSA's Digital Elevation Map (DEM) loader
NCSA's Imagine (IOB) loader
NCSA's TrueSpace (COB) loader (Version 2)
NCSA's VRML 97 (WRL) loader
NCSA's PLAY loader
NCSA's VTK ASCII loader
NCSA's VTK binary loader (big endian only)
NCSA's NFF loader
NCSA's Wavefront OBJ (including material files for colors (OBJ) loader
Any users of any of these programs? Furthermore, assuming everything simply
works as advertised (LOL), are there any particular recommendations or
endorsements of 3D rendering/animation tools?
Thanks!
