Use this to convert a Vulcan triangulation to the Inventor format.


Usage:

tri2iv <input_triangulation> <output_Inventor> [pexel_file][-n]


Where:

Option

Description

<input_triangulation>

Refers to the Vulcan triangulation file.

<output_Inventor>

Refers to the resultant Inventor file.

[pexel_file]

Refers to the pexel file (used for texture mapping). The pexel file, if used, must contain control points.

[-n]

Ensures that the output Inventor file has all the normals pointing upward. It should only be used for surfaces. If you don't use this option the resultant Inventor file will have wrong lighting due to the inconsistent normals.


Example:
