Attachment is a view of created geometry containing 9 million vertices.

Now, when I have somewhat build up the new system I have moved more interest to creativity. I want to create with the new resources I now have.

I became interested to create ASC to OBJ converter, because I had great difficulties to find software, which could do that for me. The ASC file I tried to convert contains only the height coordinates and with a bit editing I have been able to create the 3D-model to import and use. Now I got a thought, that why I should not try to create a conversion tool straight from *.ASC to *.OBJ, which would be ready with v, vn, vt, #, g, mtllib etc. rows.

Then there would be different settings for geometry sizing, placing and finally straight adding to the prop library with default values and sensitivity of values. Also I found that the Poser Pro 2014 had difficulties with the geometry, so I plan also geometry slicing options. Plans and so on, but usually all my code gets done only to the level, which is just enough, that the code is helping with a bit of editing. I now have a partial solution for every part, but the code needs improvements and loads of test runs.
