Hello IRIS types,

  I just played with showcase for the first time this aft and immediately
started playing with icut images etc. All good stuff.

  I then played with the example 3D models but got bored with those quickly. I
then thought hey, I should be able to create my own. My first reaction was to
crank up quickmodel, create something and load it into showcase. I was
unpleasantly surprised when showcase barfed on the quickmodel file. Well I
though, no time like the present to RTFM.

  SGO files ?!??!! sample code in the Appendix C. Am I reading this right?
Do we have to write our own 3D model editor? You must be joking!
