stl2pov reads an STL (Standard Triangulation Language) file and outputs a POVray mesh.
stl2pov has been tested with STL files generated by Pro/Engineer.
BUILDING THE PROGRAM
For building on FreeBSD and other systems with the GNU toolset, see the instructions in the file INSTALL. After installation, a manual page for this program can be read with 'man stl2pov'. Additional documentation is available in the documentation directory. See the Makefile.
I have set up a cross-compiler to produce a win32 binary. You can find it in the file stl2pov-2.3.0.zip on my website; http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/software/
If anyone wants to donate makefiles or project files for other systems and compilers I will be happy to include them in the distribution.
What is new in this release:
- A bug regarding the reading of binary STL files has been fixed; the facet normal was read as the first vertex.
- When writing POV-ray files the correct coordinate system transformation is now applied (swapping x- and y-coordinates).
What is new in version 2.4.3:
- Fix reading big binary files on windows.
