The wireframes are a series of polylines, each polyline recpresenting the cell's boundary at a slice through the cell at that particular depth (z distance). We would like to be able to graphically manipulate collections of cells and then to render the cells with surfaces and shading, etc. The Wavefront personal visualizer on the SGI personal Iris could certainly do great things for us, but we don't know what the data format is for this program. Alternatively, we have received a copy of a program called SYNU, written by Dave Hessler at the UCSD supercomputing center, which can render cells that are described by a traingular mesh. Ideally we would like to be able to convert between these programs, and both programs can accept data in MOVIE.BYU format. Where can I get MOVIE.BYU and the data formats for both MOVIE.BYU and Wavefront's personal visualizer?
