Is it something that might be worth considering an external open source
library for?
A very quick google reveals a few options:
http://assimp.sourceforge.net/main_features.html
http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/

I imagine that the number of 'desired' file formats would quickly expand out
of control for what the KiCad development team would have the time for.

If there was a library that would just dump out the raw info (like polygons
and vertex shading/specular etc) that would make things easier right?



Regards,
Bevan Weiss

Subject: Re: [Kicad-developers] support of 3D model plugins

I have seen multiple people reporting bugs regarding X3D, so I guess there
are some people using it. I don't know if it is because they don't know
which format "to use" or that they genuinely mean it is better than VRML2.
Me, myself, I don't really know the real difference.
