2 ------
3 A 3D scene, character, and animation file format specification, library, and tools.

7 Goat3D is a hierarchical 3D scene, character, and animation file format set,
8 targeting mostly real-time applications (such as games). The goat3d
9 specification defines 2 complimentary file formats:
10 * The main goat3d file format defines meshes, lights, cameras, environmental
11 parameters, materials, and transformation hierarchies.
12 * The animation file format defines a sequence of keyframes and interpolation
13 parameters, for any number of nodes, defined in the main scene file.
14
15
16 This project provides the specification of the file formats, a simple library
17 with a clean C API for reading and writing files in the goat3d scene and
18 animation file formats, as well as a number of tools dealing with such files.
19
20 Specifically, at the moment (early development stage), the following are
21 included in various degrees of completion:
22 * *libgoat3d*, a library for reading and writing goat3d scene and animation files.
23 * *maxgoat*, a goat3d scene and animation exporter for autodesk 3dsmax 2014.
24 * *ass2goat*, a universal 3D asset conversion utility based on the excellent
25 assimp library, from a huge number of 3D file formats to the goat3d file
26 format.
27 * *goatview*, a 3D scene and animation preview tool, based on OpenGL.
28 * *goatprim*, a procedural 3D model (primitive) generator for quick testing.
29
30 The following are planned for the near future:
31 * *blendgoat*, an exporter for Blender.
