Hello
wether i really need VRML?..well..i basicall have HDF files
containing some data sets and i need to get those onto 3dstudio max so
that i can make a 3d simulation. And the guys at RSINC told me that VRML
is the way to go. Could you suggest any better option. I hear dxf is also
an option but im not sure what the file sizes would be. Is there a problem
with VRML?. Whats the best option in this kinda scenario. But i guess
answring me would require some info about 3d Studio.
Thanks for any information you may be able to provide
