Converting 3-D Files for Import into Atmosphere
If your 3-D software package does not export fi les directly to the Viewpoint format, or have an accessory exporter
module that does so, you may be able to export to the commonly used OBJ fi le format instead. This fi le can then be
converted to the Viewpoint Media format using the Viewpoint Scene Builder application, which can be download for
free at http://developer.viewpoint.com/.
Converting Viewpoint Objects to Surface Objects
Imported Viewpoint Objects cannot be globally lit or textured in Atmosphere.
