On DXF conversion. I just got Calgari trueSpace, it nice but a bit limited
compared to Imagine, and it will read 3D studio, AutoCAD DXF, LightWave,
WaveFront, and Imagine models and will output 3ds ascii and DXF as well as
their own format. I have used to convert some 3DS files to DXF's and had on
problem reading the DXF'f into Imagine. TrueSpaces will have to add a lot of
features win me over from Imagine (no EXF's, textures are done by using graphic
files, no object morphing). On the plus though it will output to Video for
Windows to get full speed look at the animation and the modeling abilites are
pretty good. I beleve it is still selling for $500.
