John, I actually may be to the point of buying an Amiga just for the conversions. If you don't mind I have a couple of more questions. A.) Does your converter go from wavefront binary to 3ds binary? I've already written an .obj to .dxf and an .obj to .asc converter but I have to get around the act of waiting days for 3DStudio to convert the dxf or asc into a .3ds file. B.) Is there any file size limit on your program? Some of my .obj files can run 10 megs or more. in dxf terms this is close to 50 megs. C.) What type of memory structure do you use? Does your converter access all available memory or do I have to listen to a hard disk page for extended periods of time. In the end, I can already take virtually any SGI platform file and turn it into a dxf but that *!$# dxf to 3ds conversion is a total nightmare on large projects. So, I'm willing to do alot to go straight to .3ds. Paul .
