PRISMS CONVERTER

This Converter reads and writes models in the file format defined by Side Effects Prisms. It supports both the binary and ASCII formats. It adds two entries in the conversion lists:

Prisms ASCII .poly
Prisms binary .bpoly

Geometry
The Prisms file format allows polygons of any number of sides, including one- and two-point polygons.

Material attributes
Prisms allows per-point coloring but it is not supported by this Converter. FIX ME

Per-face material colors are translated. Any alpha value alters the transparency of the surface. On export, only per-polygon coloring is created.

Options dialog

Because Prisms files are ASCII, you can control the line ending.
