I'm looking for a few people to test a new Windows app for me. The program is (currently) called 'S.T.O.M.P.' (Spanki's Third/Three-D Object Manipulation Program). It was originally written (a year or so ago) to re-generate normals to smooth seams between separate body segments and posted in free stuff as 'Body Shop'... As I've been doing some modeling recently, I needed some other tools, so I decided to re-write it and STOMP is the result. I currently use it to 'fix' .obj files for import to Wings3D, scale models (it only reads/writes .obj files) up/down, mirror/flip models (ie. create left boot, mirror it to make right boot), check texture seams, etc. It has a real-time OpenGL display with plenty of display options and plenty of .obj export options... I'm currently developing it on a Win98 machine and am looking for ME/Win2k/NT testers. Ideally, you'd either be a modeller yourself, or someone who often exports .obj files for import to other rendering apps (Bryce, etc). If interested, send e-mail to spanki@mindspring.com, but please keep in mind that I only need a few testers, so I may have already filled the slots ;). Several images to follow...

One last one... this shows a sample before and after 'Smooth All' to fix visible seams on an old mesh I converted ages ago with 3D Exploration... The question marks on the 'after' image point to dark areas where very sharp polygon edges/corners are... my routine didn't fix those, but you can see that the other seams are gone.

Just to clarify... this is NOT a 3d-modeller and it is NOT a 3d-file-format-conversion program (unless you count being able to read .obj files that some apps can't and spitting out ones that they can ;). It is (currently) just a tool to manipulate and view .obj files.

I would like a copy if possible. I do a lot of exporting meshes around between various progs, and always endup with sharp creases etc. This looks like it could be usefull..

I would love a copy of it looks like a real good program..
