...This has probably been posted before- but while searching for some unusual file translation needs- I ran across "3D Object Converter"... it supports a HUGE range of file conversions... bigger than my regular workhorse I've had for many years- "3D Explorer" (which does a great job).

The vast number of file format conversions available would probably be very useful for those who need them...

yep, I've downloaded it before.  And it doesn't convert the 2 file types I desperately wanted:

.s and .sd for MS Train Simulator.  Unfortunately, those file formats are created to styme just that intention.  :c(

It's a good program, but not quite as good as I was hoping.

A friend of mine is quite an expert for Flightsim and Trainsim conversions. He's created many tools for image conversion and manipulation/viewing/printing of extended bitmap formats used in Flightsim and also Trainsim. He's also created plugin for Project Dogwaffle to load those formats into PD directly.

I don't know if he also does 3D stuff for Flightsim/Trainsim, but you might want to contact him about it, his name is Martin Wright (another Wright brother :-)   I forgot his website details but you can probably find it through the links to his plugins at www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/3rdpartyplugins - look for Martin Wright's Flightsim plugin, or for MultiPrint

Another thing you might want to do is check if Milkshape3D has it, or ask the mstrainsim forum at Yahoogroups.com

Rats & drat the cat.
There's no Mac version available. :-(

If you want a converter for just the geometry (no textures/uvmaps) on the Mac you might be able to work with 3dmf and many other formats with Amapi 3D v6.1 which is available as a free download somehere at evia3d.net aka polyloop.com  or look for links in http://www.thebest3d.com/amapi
