Hi Miguel -
You bring up a good point. I wonder, Darrell, if you could work with Thomas
Baier to possibly have the to-from LDraw format part be free of charge,
period? It wouldn't affect his market for cross-advanced 3D format
conversions, just to and from LDraw files.
Just a thought... I wouldn't mind paying for a copy of 3DWin once I get into
3D rendering more, since it would be a fun toy. Maybe I'll do that once I've
wrapped up some projects, and I've got more time to experiment on that
stuff. :-)
