:-) That seem very interresting!! That for the response, that exactly what I was looking for.
Good luck with the converting stuff. Serge p.s. Im about to finish a loader to implement 3ds mesh animation. The loader take exported vrml97 files representing the key frames. The animation doesnt interpolated between keys but with a good frame rate it does the job. If anyone is interrest in that kind of stuff let me know and I will send the code!!
