mgf2inv - convert from MGF to Inventor or VRML format

NAME

mgf2inv - convert from MGF to Inventor or VRML format

SYNOPSIS

mgf2inv [ -1|-2|-vrml [ input .. ]

DESCRIPTION

Mgf2inv takes one or more MGF input files and converts it to Inventor or VRML format. If the -1 option is used, then Inventor 1.0 ASCII output is produced. If the -2 option is used, then Inventor 2.0 ASCII output is produced. (This is the default.) If the -vrml option is used, then VRML 1.0 ASCII output is produced.

This converter does not work properly for light sources, since the output formats do not support IES-type luminaires with recorded distributions. Also, some material information may be lost because Inventor lacks a physically valid reflectance model.

EXAMPLES

To take an MGF file and convert it to VRML format: 
	mgf2inv -vrml myscene.mgf > myscene.iv
