NAME

mgfe2iv - convert from MGFE to Inventor format

SYNOPSIS

mgfe2iv [ input file ]

DESCRIPTION

mgfe2iv takes one MGFE input file and converts it to Inventor format.

This converter does not work properly for light sources, since the output formats do not support IES-type luminaires with recorded distributions. Also, some material information may be lost because Inventor lacks a physically valid reflectance model. Our goal, in this first version is convert it to Inventor format the scene without animation, or participating media.

EXAMPLES

To take an MGFE file and convert it to Inventor format:
	mgfe2iv myscene.mgf > myscene.iv
