Cad/3D export?

AudioMatt's icon

I have some raw data of a 3D object that I've generated in an mxj.

Before I continue beating my head against a wall trying to write a DXF file is there any easy way to get it into a common 3D format? obj? dxf? dwg?

I believe there is, I think there is a jitter example that does that.
The format is some text based format, not sure what it is called.

I have been very interested in in getting Max to load 3d data and
be able to map musical parameters on it. What 3d application are you using?
I have been trying to use Blender but I am still quite new to it and
don't know how to use it very well.
