Hm... you shouldn't deeplink other people's files and include better descriptions.

Readme file:

Code: Select all

							- Biturn -
							  for Win
						 created by Mirex

This is my program for coversion of 3D model and Bitmap files. It supports
some commonly used formats and some game-formats. 

Usage: Run it, browse for files you want to see. If you want to convert them
  select output format and click Convert button.
 Input file does not have to have proper extension, if it is possible program 
 will recognize it.
 And by the way, Biturn was formerly called Conv.
 Try moving mouse with buttons & shift key pressed to move viewpoint.

-- other things --

command line parameters:
/?              - prints help into details pane
filename        - as if you would click on that file
path            - moves directory browser to that path
/logheavy       - message logging heavy mode, could help to solve strange problems



I have used some code of others authors and those are:

- I've used DirTreeCtrl component written by Nicola Delfino
- for JPEG support is used LibJpeg ver 6b
  "part of this software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group"
- md3viewer source codes helped me at md3 & tga loading
- Ian Patterson's source codes of Mac OniTools helped me with Oni resources
- used Laurent Clevy's lbm2ppm code for info on LBM image

 ok thats all, have fun
