George… I just read your last response about sequential .TGA files
and was curious about something…how do you translate from your FEA
program to 3D-Studio? I too am using an FEA (actually we call it
Discrete Element Method, same diff), to calculate the position of
800-1000 steel balls in a rotating mill. I thought about using the
3DS ASCII file import and writing a conversion util from FEA->3DS,
but the filesize would become unmanageable (600-800MB!) The next
thing I thought of was a DXF file, but this too gets large quickly
since it is also ascii. Any pointers? Thanks, Dave
