[comp.sys.amiga] 3D object conversions

koverber@hawk.ulowell.edu (Jet Screamer) (06/12/90)

	Hi, 


		Im looking for programs that will convert different
	3D object format to other object formats.  I am working on
	animation on high-end graphics stations (Pixar, Vitec, Stardent)
	but have many Amigas.  I am looking for a way to convert the
	3D object files of Sculpt-Animate 4d and Turbo Silver (on the
	Amiga) to other	formats, such as AVS or the Pixar format.
	This would allow me to create objects on the Amiga, and then 
	transfer them to the higher-ended machines for quick rendering.
   	Has anyone ever attemped this?  Been successful?  Any input or
	information that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.
	Please respond via e-mail if possible, or in the newsgroup if there
	is much interest in this subject.  If I get many responses, I will
	post the results to these newsgroups.  Thanks in advance to 
	those who respond.


					Thanks, 

					    Kurt
