Hey guys,

I am a developer of IRIS Performer. Currently, I am working on creating a scene
model for the
IRIS performer. I have tried to create a model using Softimage ver 3 and
convert it to IV open inventor
format. However, we encountered some problems :

1) The SoftimageToIV ver 1.0 program can convert Softimage ver 2.66 model file
to IV open inventor
format.. But when we tried to convert Softimage ver 3.0 model file, it reported
SEGEMENTATION fault
and core dump file created. Hence, does it imply that SoftimageToIV ver 1.0
program can only
support old version of softimage file ?

2) We also tried to use SoftimageToIV ver 1.0 program to convert a scene file
to IV open inventor,
 the program reported error with message "CHECKING DATABASE.." "DATABASE
OZ_SHADER.."
How to solve this problem ?

3) The IRIS performer supports a few type of Silicon Graphics data format
database.
Namely the: BIN, GFO and SGO. What are the tools available to generate these
types of data file ?

4) Any good and useful reference books u could recommend for developing IRIS
Performer application?

Hope that someone there can help. Chow !
