nuclear@54: Goat3D is a hierarchical 3D scene, character, and animation file format set,
nuclear@54: targeting mostly real-time applications (such as games). The goat3d
nuclear@54: specification defines 2 complimentary file formats:
nuclear@54:  * The main goat3d file format defines meshes, lights, cameras, environmental
nuclear@54:    parameters, materials, and transformation hierarchies.
nuclear@54:  * The animation file format defines a sequence of keyframes and interpolation
nuclear@54:    parameters, for any number of nodes, defined in the main scene file.
nuclear@54: 
nuclear@54: 
nuclear@54: This project provides the specification of the file formats, a simple library
nuclear@54: with a clean C API for reading and writing files in the goat3d scene and
nuclear@54: animation file formats, as well as a number of tools dealing with such files.
nuclear@54: 
nuclear@54: Specifically, at the moment (early development stage), the following are
nuclear@54: included in various degrees of completion:
nuclear@54:  * *libgoat3d*, a library for reading and writing goat3d scene and animation files.
nuclear@54:  * *maxgoat*, a goat3d scene and animation exporter for autodesk 3dsmax 2014.
nuclear@54:  * *ass2goat*, a universal 3D asset conversion utility based on the excellent
nuclear@54:    assimp library, from a huge number of 3D file formats to the goat3d file
nuclear@54:    format.
nuclear@54:  * *goatview*, a 3D scene and animation preview tool, based on OpenGL.
nuclear@54:  * *goatprim*, a procedural 3D model (primitive) generator for quick testing.
nuclear@54: 
nuclear@54: The following are planned for the near future:
nuclear@65:  * *blendgoat*, an exporter for Blender.
