I'm writing a ray-tracer and am importing objects from 3D-Studio for the geometry using .ASC files. The Y and Z coordinates are switched when loaded into my program so the objects are sideways. I switched the Y and Z in the 3ds.set file but it didn't change anything. I have fixed this but was just curious, in the reference manual I got the impression it was a Y-up enviroment, (pg. 6-5 ver.3)?
