3DWin is a small uitility for Win95/NT to convert 3D files to a
number of other 3D formats.
Upon request a month ago from a swedish L3P user, Mattias Brändström,
I contacted Thomas Baier, the author of 3DWin. I suggested that he
added our DAT file format, and after a few mails back and forth he
informed me that 3DWin can now import standard LDraw .DAT files.
You can export to the following formats:
Generic ASCII format *.raw
3DStudio *.3ds, *.prj, *.asc
Imagine *.iob, *.obj
Lightwave *.lwo, *.lws
Autodesk *.dxf
POV-Ray *.pob (*.pov)
Alias/Wavefront *.obj
SoftFX *.sce
RenderWare *.rwx
VRML 1.0 *.wrl
Direct X 3D *.x
OpenGL *.c
Real 3D *.rpl, *.obj
POV-Ray 3 and Moray *.inc, *.udo
Polyray and Moray *.inc, *.udo
I have only done very little testing, as 3DWin was ready just
before I switched to a new computer at home, but I remember
that the exported files were HUGE, easily several MB. I cannot
remember if there is linetype 2 and 5 support, maybe not.

| (...) Very interesting development. Thanks for the info, Lars. (...) program, and I have tried using it to do 3DS to POV/Moray conversions. But it is frustrating in that it does not include the image-maps/textures of the 3DS object, just the meshes. (...) (25 years ago, 29-May-99, to lugnet.cad)
