As a related matter, almost all of my geometry originates as an
engineering CAD model (ie NURBS) that has to be converted with a
combination of automatic and manual techniques. There are times
when I don't need to develop a pituresque model using exotic
texturing and materials, I only need a functional rendering.
It would be nice to be able to load the original IGES NURB data
into Performer. How about an IGES loader for Performer?????
Thanks,
