Does anyone know where I can find this? Or, does anyone know how the dimensions of a PRM file a derived? Are they calculated from positions within the file or are they written in the file somewhere where they can be read easily?

I dont know but if I had to guess I would say
the polygons are position by the program that
made them.
The program set the polygons in position on x-y-z
axses.
I dont know if you can edit a prm file like that.
But you know what your doing I dont.
Good luck with the project.

don't forget this link - [PERROR]

but that info can be hard to read if you don't know C programming already.

another way to explain it is to just show you the contents of the prm binary file in plain text format. this file below is actually whitepost.prm from the nhood1 stock track. it's a small file so it all fits here.

the file is complex, so to edit a prm, you need a 3d editor, with a tool to convert the editor model to revolt binary file - i'm working on it!

Hi SkindupTruk,

Just my little add :
If you are trying to make a tool to export from a 3D program to RV files try to use RVGlue's source code, because all you need might have been done. (Well I think you've probably already do that

)
For now here are the improvments that could be done :

-vertices alpha channel and env color channel (env if it's possible but I guess it is

-multiframe UVmap export

And of course multiple format input for it to be used with several 3D programs.

I'm very interested if you could achieve this.
Keep us informed about your project's progress. I'd be glad to help you about this.

Greetings, KW
