Here's a good question:

I'd like to use my amiga to create and edit 3D objects that I want to
eventually raytrace on other systems, like our SPARC1s or our AT&T Pixel
Machine.  Now, does anyone have any experience (or software!) for doing this?

I have a Sculpt4D->NFF converter.  I'd like to convert Turbo Silver since it 
uses higher level primitives than Sculpt.

Basically, if you have any experience in using the Amiga as an editor for
big raytracers, let me know (send email).

I will summarize if there is interest.
