heyas; metastream is a really cool idea, especial for sites that offer meshes for sale or download. no longer do people have to settle for a few renders of a few angles, they can have an interactive, fully 3d model to rotate and zoom and look at. i cant wait til zygote gets a metastream file for all of its products! but now the question arises (and has not yet been thoroughly addressed, to my knowledge): is the 3d information in a mts file something that can be 'stolen' (for lack of a better word)? if people can save an mts file, then open it (in poser, or carrera, or whatever products are going to support mts importation and editing), and export an obj.... well, it's usefullness as a pre-sale tool are nullified. at the very least, opening a mts file should require parsing an outside obj (much like poser cr2's read outside obj/rsr geometries). i dont know if it is possible to do that and still have the mts as a standalone web file. even if metacreations doesn't plan to implement mts importation, what about the security of 3d information in the mts file? someone could make an 'mts hack' to convert them to obj format. if vendors are reluctant to embrace metastream, this is the major reason.
