PropViewer is an application that allow you to view obj, 3ds, dxf and Poser files.
What's new in bersion 2
Now you can view hr2 and cr2 files too.
All the pp2, hr2 and cr2 must have internal geometry as it was in version #1, if you want to see
files that use external geometry look at the obj file instead.
You are able to view dynamic hair in hr2, pp2 or obj files.
Read 3ds files in a correct way, something that Posers not always do.
DXF files continue to be limited to 3DFACE entities.
You can export as obj or as pp2, in other words PropViewer 2 can be used as a format converter (obj, 3ds, dxf, pp2, hr2 and cr2 to obj or pp2)
You can save what you see as image, for the moment only as bmp.
PropViewer 2 fix corrupted meshes removing corrupted faces (a traingle with two sides, with duplicated vertices, etc).
If a mesh has no texture mapping PropViwer 2 create texture coordinates in an automatic way.
Not always the texturing will be good, but is better than nothing.

Hi Kawecki!
I found a version 2.0 of this utility in your frestuff, tested it and it was really nice.
It seems to be from 2002-06-01 so im very curious about your new version.
Best regards / Jonny

Well then I'm doing version 3 now.

Quote - Is it free?
YES.
I don't keep track of the versions, is only a war name even in my computer it has a different name and what exist is only the latest version.
In the present moment I am working in two projects at the same time, the PropViewer and the dynamic hair converter and both are the same thing. I enhance one part and the other part.
I started with the dynamic hair converter so I have to change the structure of my nucleous to support lines and the chnages propagated to other modulesm nodules that are not needed for hair, but I chnaged and improved to be compatible with the new structure and these chnages I have to propagate to other software that I use for creating models.
When all is ready I shall sepparate the PropViewer and the hair converter into two different entities.
