Thank you very much Tomas.
After further investigation, I have a few more questions:
How does lib3ds differentiate between a collection of points and a line ? I
tried to create a line by creating a Lib3dsFace with two vertices, and I got
two points with the line segment connecting them. Is there a way to specify
that certain points be connected by line segments ?
Is there some way smoothing a curve geometry which has been triangulated?
For example, if I triangulate my sphere object then store the geometry in a
Lib3dsMesh, its surface would look very polygonal with sharp edges. Is there
a way to smooth it out or I should just write the mesh out to a 3ds file
then do the smoothing in 3DS Max?
I would appreciate your insights into these. Thank you for helping me.
