Short: Polygon optimize-tool with GUI and lots of options Author: BEUNES@IRI.TUDELFT.NL (A.J.H. Beunes (Toine)) Uploader: E Zwart LR TUDelft NL (Erwin Zwart) Type: gfx/3d Architecture: m68k-amigaos Objector v1.1 (FREEWARE) February 14th, 1996 PURPOSE: The main feature of this program is that it is able to merge faces and lines within an object. This means you can eliminate triangulation in objects and hereby reduce the object size! The program supports loading of objects in IMAGINE TTDDD format and VIDEOSCAPE format. The program supports saving of objects in DXF format (AUTOCAD) and VIDEOSCAPE format. So apart from being able to merge faces and lines it is also an object converter. In this way, you can import Imagine objects into Lightwave in a very efficient way for faster rendering! The program includes a double buffered 3D display routine wich shows the object converted. USE: Most people use this program to convert objects from Imagine(tm) to LightWave(tm) Note: The TTDDD Imagine object format is generated by an external command called READWRITE. This command is part of the T3DLIb distribution written by Glenn M. Lewis. The E-mail address of Glenn M. Lewis is GLEWIS@PCOCD2.INTEL.COM READWRITE converts a binary imagine file to an ASCII imagine file, it can also convert this resulting ASCII file back to the binary format. The archive wich holds this distribution is called T3DLib39.lha. AUTHOR: A.J.H. Beunes (Toine) Mekelweg 15 2629 JB DELFT HOLLAND phone. (voice) (0)15- 78 7109 E-mail address. BEUNES@IRI.TUDELFT.NL DONATIONS: Donations to aid future development on this program can be done by sending 25$ US in an envelope to the address mentioned at the start of the program. This address should be the same as the one mentioned above! Don't forget to mention your NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE. After I receive your letter I will send a floppy to that address containing the last version of the program. DISTRIBUTION: This program may only be distributed in the original archive OBJECTOR11.lha, wich holds: Objector11 Objector11.Doc Objector11.c (Source code) + some test objects SOUCE CODE: As you see I was kind enough to include the complete source code of this program in the distribution. You can modify and use it for your own personal use. It may NOT be used as a part of ANY commercial venture. You may include this original distribution on a non-commercial CD-ROM! DAMAGE CLAIME: The author of this program holds NO reponsibility for ANY damages due to the use of this program. With other words 'use it at your own risk'. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS: - loading of Imagine binary objects (.iob). - loading and saving from LightWave binary objects. - an option to triangulate the objects, wich makes it possible to optimize the merging process while using the MAXEDGES option. - the saving of TTDDD format imagine objects. - graphical interface
