Powerflip 3D image file description
The YAODL file extension is used for a 3D data format used by Powerflip.
YAODL stands for 'Yet Another Object Description Language', and is a format for three-dimensional models that supports NURBS, polygons, and quad-meshes, and object properties such as facet or vertex normals, texture coordinates, and object, facet and vertex colors. It also supports hierarchical models, coordinate transformations (rotations, scales, translations), and instancing (using the same data more than once). It is not an official data format of Silicon Graphics, it is just a data format created for the powerflip demo program. This document is intended for intrepid programmers who want to display their data using the powerflip program, and for the terminally curious.
