1. I'm afraid that there is a problem with the 'Compact Normals' feature of the new Body Shop utility (in the free stuff section). It may produce bad data and in any event, it produces incorrect normals. I have found and fixed that problem, but was in the middle of adding some new features so it may be a day or two before a new version gets posted. Until then, I'd suggest not using the 'Compact Normals' feature. 2. When you export an .obj file with the 'Reverse Faces' option checked, the normals are reversed. This causes the model to look very dark (in apps that use the included normals.. many compute their own). This will also be fixed in the next version. I hadn't recieved much feedback on the utility yet, so if you have comments or suggestions, feel free to e-mail me at: spanki@mindspring.com I'll also try to check the forums here from time to time. Thanks, - Spanki

I think I missed this one. What does the BodyShop utility do? -Jeff

It's a post-processing utility for .obj files. You can find it in the free stuff area, or I just set up a quick web page for it at: http://spanki.home.mindspring.com Mostly, I wrote it to generate smoother normals to eliminate 'seams' between body segments, but it also has several export formatting options. I'm in the process of adding a gl rendered view window now. - Spanki
