An overview of tools to convert different 3D file formats (3ds, max, obj, ...) to M3G files.

ToolDescription
M3GToolkit This toolkit is a set of utilities to process M3G files. It can convert different 3D file formats (3ds, max, obj, ...) to M3G, and manage the different properties for customize the render in the mobile. Also it optimize M3G files to get smaller files and consequently faster load. The generated m3g files can be watched at mobile with a small application included.
