Hi everybody,

I use Inventor 2.0, Performer 1.2 and pfiv1.16 to convert data from Inventor to
Performer.
When I render Performer scenes, I use PFMTL_CMODE_AD color mode (the Performer
default). To get the same lighting effect with Inventor, I use SoMaterials with
equal ambient and diffuse values (and I modified pfiv1.6 to use this color
mode).
I would like to use this mode with Inventor 2.1 but the "ambientColor" field of
SoMaterial is a single field value in this version.

A few questions about it :
- Inventor does not know AD mode and it is the Performer default, why ?
- is there a new version of pfiv with Performer 2.0 ?
- does this version use PFMTL_CMODE_DIFFUSE or PFMTL_CMODE_AD ?
- does anybody else have the same problems and how does he solve it ?
