Yes. :If so ... does it take care about all Inventor information as hierarchy, :materials, lights, textures, etc ... ? No. It represents the best loader I could write in a single afternoon -- and I'm not that fast. The right thing to do is to parse the grammar, but there was no handy YACC grammar, and since a new "IRIS Open Inventor" product will soon be announced with a somewhat different file format, I did not feel that it was worth the investment of time to generate one. It does read the fifty or so models that come with the current version of IRIS Inventor -- the aircar, pear, space station, and so on. I'd be happy to post it here, but it would do you little good since it relies on several of the new database loader utility functions that you don't yet have. -- Be seeing you, mtj@sgi.com 415.390.1455 M/S 7L-590 Michael Jones Silicon Graphics, Advanced Graphics Division 2011 N.

Alas, 'twas but a dream. There *is* an IRIS Inventor datafile loader for IRIS Performer 1.2, but we ship no function to dump out a complete scene graph in the Software Systems FLIGHT format. Do you really need what you're asking for? If all you want to do is fly through an Inventor file with the speed that Performer can provide, all you need is the Inventor loader. A basic loader for the IRIS Inventor format comes with IRIS Performer 1.2, and a more elaborate loader is also available from me for testing.

I have a couple of questions. We currently have an application using an SGI Onyx and a Fakespace Boom2C (upgrading to a 3C and a 2nd Onyx soon hopefully). Our application is homebrewed using GL. On the next round of development, we would like very much to start using Performer to help with rendering speed, and to use Inventor to supply us with a good user interface. My question is: -Is this feasible? -Practical? -Possible to put Performer render into a GLX widget? Make canvas toggle between full screen and parented size? (boom mode requires full screen). Thanks, Ralph
