Hello everyone,
   I have an existing Performer based application to which I would like to
add support for cliptextures. I am currently trying to estimate the amount
of effort that this will require. I have begun to examine the online
documentation for cliptextures as well as the source code and README file in
the clipfly directory. What I am finding leads me to think that this will
be a fairly major undertaking (especially considering the fact that we don't
have an IR in house). Can somebody comment on this?

I also have the following questions about cliptextures:

1. What can you do with / how useful are cliptextures if you don't have IR
hardware?

2. How are cliptextures associated with geometry data in databases? Does
the ".ct" file format contain geometry information in addition to the
texture parameters? Can OpenFlight files refer to cliptextures?

Thanks,
Dan Oberlin
