Has anyone else noticed how good the newest Poseray - 3.8.2 - is at format conversion?

I mainly convert from Lightwave to Wavefront. I've just tried a bunch of LWOs from the Lightwave Group at http://www.lwg3d.org/v3/.

Some of them were pretty large, but the conversion was flawless - regions and materials translated with 100% accuracy as far as I could tell, and an MTL file added to make things simpler.

I don't use POVRay, and I didn't think I'd do anything with Poseray other than experiment occasionally - but now it's right near the top of the utilities list.

That's great to know. I'll have to get the new version. I've been playing with the HDR lighting and want to really look at the subdivision. It's definitely right up there in the pantheon of free Poser applications.

One of PoseRay's features now is that it can serve as a import tool for Poser.

From 3.8.0 PoseRay can import LWO, 3DS, DXF, RAW, OBJ, UDO and export OBJ. LWO support is better than the others because Newtek has the format documentation at their site.

One of the tutorials in the PoseRay help file mentions how to make sure Poser does not mangle the normals when it imports a 3D model.
