Please do post the sources if humanly possible. I have been looking for some reasonable file format that I can use where I stand a snowballs chance in hell of exchanging info with others easily. This seems to fit the bill fairly well as far as my application (ray tracing) is concerned. I would really hate to have to reinvent the wheel (which I've already started to do in a limited way) if there already exists something that I can get a hold of easily. Posting the sources would help guarantee that more people would use this file format and might help spawn a comp.graphics.objects which I for one could use desperately.
