Message-ID: <4VfpM8y00WAKzW005j@andrew.cmu.edu> Date: Sat, 28-Nov-87 18:02:32 EST Article-I.D.: andrew.4VfpM8y00WAKzW005j Posted: Sat Nov 28 18:02:32 1987 Date-Received: Mon, 30-Nov-87 07:12:37 EST Organization: Carnegie Mellon University Lines: 16 With all the talk about interchange programs between Videoscape 3D, Sculpt 3D, Forms in Flight, etc etc. I begin to wonder why an IFF format for describing three-dimensional objects has not surfaced. After all, isn't the whole intention of IFF to avoid kldugy conversion programs and allow various packages to work in tandem? It wouldn't be hard at all to adopt such a standard. Everybody need only offer IFF capability with the next release of their package, with backwards compatability for the old format.
