Just to clarify... this is NOT a 3d-modeller and it is NOT a 3d-file-format-conversion program (unless you count being able to read .obj files that some apps can't and spitting out ones that they can ;). It is (currently) just a tool to manipulate and view .obj files.

I'm looking for a few people to test a new Windows app for me. The program is (currently) called 'S.T.O.M.P.' (Spanki's Third/Three-D Object Manipulation Program). It was originally written (a year or so ago) to re-generate normals to smooth seams between separate body segments and posted in free stuff as 'Body Shop'... As I've been doing some modeling recently, I needed some other tools, so I decided to re-write it and STOMP is the result. I currently use it to 'fix' .obj files for import to Wings3D, scale models (it only reads/writes .obj files) up/down, mirror/flip models (ie. create left boot, mirror it to make right boot), check texture seams, etc. It has a real-time OpenGL display with plenty of display options and plenty of .obj export options... I'm currently developing it on a Win98 machine and am looking for ME/Win2k/NT testers. Ideally, you'd either be a modeller yourself, or someone who often exports .obj files for import to other rendering apps (Bryce, etc). If interested, send e-mail to spanki@mindspring.com, but please keep in mind that I only need a few testers, so I may have already filled the slots ;).
