3DMF is the QuickDraw 3D Metafile Format from Apple. You can find out all
about it from their web page at: <http://quickdraw3d.apple.com/3DMF.HTML>
And there is a list of products which currently support the 3DMF format
at: <http://quickdraw3d.apple.com/Utilities.HTML>. Vendors include
Microsoft, Canto, Kandu & Syndesis.

Seemingly 3DMF will be the basis for the file format for SGI's Moving
Worlds VRML 2.0 proposal (and Live3D too).

Martin.
