Title: 3D File Formats for Cross Models
Post by: Luminaire85 on January 17, 2009, 12:17:47 pm

I am working on a script to convert the Cross model files to more usable formats. These files will become a part of the Compendium's encyclopedia.

One such format will definitely be the .blend files that Blender uses. The choice of Blender was made because of its FOSS status, meaning that anyone can legally download a copy and use it to view the model files. (Of course, it certainly helps that I like Blender.) However, I know that a number of people prefer other 3D modeling software. I am hoping my batch script can take advantage of other Blender scripts to convert to other formats, but I don't know which formats people use. That's where this poll/thread come in.

I will base my choice(s) on the feedback I get in the next few days. I am by no means an expert in 3D file formats, so feel free to post about any that I missed.

I'd take POV-Ray meshes (as those are relatively simple, being text).

Guess I'll help out too.  :lol: I'll convert a few models daily and post it here.
