Dear All,
did anyone take a look at the 3D features that appeared in pdf 1.6 and 1.7?
Is there any chance that they will be supported by gnupdf (in however
remote the future) or they are not accepted in principle (too
vendor-propriate, not inline with the original PDF intent, there are no 3D
people around, etc)?
I understand that the quaestion has nothing to do with the current state
of development of gnupdf and such dergee of being "philosophical" may
amount to grave offtopic
AFAIK, three are two formats supported -
Intel U3D - supports lines, triangles and nothing more, but was
standardised at ECMA and has open-source library for writing and
displaying the models - origintates from ansient Shockwave 3D.
TTF PRC - very feature-rich, looks like a superset of all 3D formats
that TTF company had to deal with before being acuired by Adobe.
Adobe seems to be going to include PRC format in ISO PDF specs at some
point of time, but for now they _removed_ the format description from
their www site :(.
Sincerely, Michail
